Abstract
What is leadership for? This question seems to drive much of the recent scholarship on leadership in education. It is reflected in a variety of “themes” of current publications and conferences, including “leadership for school improvement” (Murphy, 1999), “leadership for social justice” (Larson & Murtadha, 2002), “leadership for learning of all students” (University Council for Educational Administration, 2001), and “leadership for democratie community” (Furman & Starratt, 2002).
