Changes in education occur frequently: new programs and initiatives, new standards and assessments, new state and federal mandates. But none of these represents a true paradigm shift. This isn’t surprising, considering that innovation, responsible risk-taking, and teacher leadership are rarely encouraged, valued, or supported in education. Of course, there are pockets of teachers and schools that are doing these things, but it’s certainly not the norm.
So what needs to change to ensure that all 21st-century students are learning to the best of their abilities? Our education system needs to embrace—not just give lip service to—a culture driven by learning, high-performing teachers, and transformative technology.

Let’s face it, the going is tough, and it will get tougher. We are living and working in a whole new world, workplace and marketplace where the challenges, changes and opportunities before us are unprecedented.
Our individual and collective ability to learn and re-learn new ways of thinking, doing and communicating that will draw upon our individual and collective abilities to develop solutions is critical.
And, our ability to enable solutions is a collaborative effort that will require leaders to build Communities of Purpose, constituencies of colleagues, employees, constituents and social networks that will learn to work together towards shared goals, values and objectives.

As we have progressed, not only in our use of technology but also our understanding of effective leadership, we know that communication includes effective talking but, more importantly, listening. Being able to hear what is being said from those we serve is extremely important to how we develop our schools, and the conversation is extremely valuable. Yet, many schools and organizations use social media in the old fashion: sharing information but not having a conversation. In reality, just because you have ears doesn’t mean you are listening.

Great article on leadership, check it out and provide me your input. Being a leader doesn't always mean being the one in charge.
Leadership can happen throughout all levels of the organization chart. Leadership is about influence. A leader knows how to Influence others to follow their guidance and direction.
Traditionally, we think of leaders who lead or influence those who are positioned below them. While this is often the case, leadership can actually occur in all directions.
===> A true leader will know how to influence those who work alongside them as well as those who work above them. <===
Knowing how to influence your supervisor involves some strategic leadership skills. The one who is positioned to lead you will not be swayed easily. This idea is often referred to as leading up or upward leadership.

If you aren’t sure, you are far from alone in your confusion. It turns out that even brilliant, highly accomplished people are pretty lousy when it comes to understanding why they succeed or fail. The intuitive answer — that you are born predisposed to certain talents and lacking in others — is really just one small piece of the puzzle.
In fact, decades of research on achievement suggests that successful people reach their goals not simply because of who they are, but more often because of what they do.
