深度研究｜美国高中校长领导力分析(13)

Research suggests that leaders who sets a clear sense of direction have the greatest impact. The best school leaders have a goal that they can unite a team and a plan to help them get there. Not just that, but they are able to clearly articulate their school vision and goals. If these leaders help to develop among their staff members a shared understanding of the organization and its goals and activities, this understanding becomes the basis for a sense of purpose or vision. Having such goals helps people make sense of their work and enables them to find a sense of identity for themselves with their work context. [3]
