HARMONIZING LEADERSHIP CAPACITY, MICRO-POLITICS AND SCHOOL CULTURE FOR SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT- A THEORETICAL STANCE

Abstract

Building Leadership capacity an essential variable for school improvement, informs the quest for expanding knowledge through collaborative learning to impact the quality of learning and teaching in schools. Constructing and negotiating fresh meaning by continuously challenging theoretical and practical models of operation, and revisiting our most sacred beliefs are healthy for fashioning a collaborative work environment with shared sense of community and unified purpose. This study argues from a theoretical standpoint for the harmonization of building leadership capacity, micro-politics and school culture. As we continue to probe and de-construct in the pursuit for new insights of the leadership challenge, these pivotal cornerstones for school improvement may add to the complex mosaic of school leadership.
