Abstract

The chapter addresses leadership in educational institutions. Leading a diverse group of people towards a common vision can be both exhilarating and risky and thus requires courage. Courageous leadership embraces human imperfection while emphasizing self-reflection tracked via the personal leadership thread which ultimately leads to authentic leadership. The chapter further defines the fractal approach which strongly emphasizes the idea of leadership as a partnership consisting of a clear definition of leaders and learners and comprised of the following pillars: reflective practitioners, communities of belonging, innovation, and conscious citizenship. This approach ultimately leads to empowering individuals to be architects of their own learning who are committed to ethical decision making in order to improve life and living on the planet.
