    Uploaded by

    Jose Belisar
    There has been much debate about the roles of leadership and management in educational administration. Historically, the focus was first on administration, then on management as schools sought efficiency, and next on leadership as many volumes were written on the topic. Currently, some scholars argue for a balance between leadership and management. Educational administration programs are now usually focused on educational leadership, and position descriptions seek strong leaders. The roles of leadership, management, and administration in educational organizations are dynamic and have shifted as paradigms have changed.
