Abstract

In the passage for the XXI Century, to speak of organizations, the educational organization in particular, is to speak of uncertainty and unpredictability, constant flexibility and opening to change, which calls for the need of a culture of leadership applied to all organizations. Leadership is seen as an ambiguous phenomenon that values teamwork - shared leadership - and the work of the interim leadership. It is a phenomenon that is dispersed and disseminated throughout the organization. This paper describes and reflects critically on the performance and development profile of a teacher, as a manager and a leader, throughout her life cycle, in the different organizational levels: classroom, curriculum department and board and executive director. Her motivation for formation and change always put at the service of constant improvement. It also analyzes the functioning of the departments’ curricula and the director’s intervention project. The concepts of leader and manager are also problematized, as are highlighted the qualities of a good leader for carrying out the school goals, putting them at the service of a strategic vision.
