Contents:
Reinventing leadership -- What motivates? what inspires? -- The sources of authority for leadership -- Substitutes for leadership -- Creating a state of flow at work -- Followership first, then leadership -- Collegiality as a professional virtue -- The virtuous school -- Leadership as stewardship : "who's serving who?" -- Epilogue : the antidote can become the poison.
Summary: "Moral Leadership shows how creating a new leadership practice--one with a moral dimension built around purpose, values, and beliefs--can transform a school from an organization to a community and inspire the kinds of commitment, devotion, and service that can make our schools great. Sergiovanni explains the importance of legitimizing emotion and getting in touch with basic values and connections with others. He reveals how true collegiality, based on shared work and common goals, leads to a natural interdependence among teachers and shows how a public declaration of values and purpose can help turn schools into virtuous communities where teachers are self-managers and professionalism is considered an ideal."--Publisher description.
