Leadership is Leadership

Since starting the M.Ed. in Educational Technology Leadership, all I've wanted is to do my best to excel in the area of leadership. Whether it's taking the initiative to learn more about a particular program, reading more literature on education and technology and sharing more information with my work group, or just learning more on my own in web conferences and technological magazines. I find that I am becoming more and more aware of how my supervisor and those around me manage time, delegate authority and get the job done. 

I don't want to find that I am incapable of becoming the leader that I desire to be, simply because I'm not putting my best foot forward. Everywhere we look or turn around we can find examples of a leader somewhere near. Even kids at the playground have a leader! Question is though: How good of a leader are we? We can take on the characteristics, we can walk in the shoes of a leader but to completely fulfill the role; how is that accomplished? When I think of leadership I think of the movie, “Remember the Titans.” I’m reminded of the clip when Gerry Bertier and Julius Campbell were to exchange information about themselves to each other, the “particulars”. The biggest issue in the movie was that of race, but the gist of their argument about the football team had to do with only one thing, “leadership”.
