I consider myself a leader based on moral dimensions. I believe that leaders should focus in ethical reasoning. In his book, Green addresses the importance of justice and equality of leading to obtain maximum productivity by building a sense of community and trust. It also talks about a principle of respect in which beliefs and values of others are considered and valued. It emphasizes the importance of treating individuals as ends and not as means to achieve the ends. I believe that school leaders should be genuine and transparent. They should work in collaborative democracy, keeping in mind common interests rather than individual.
