Synopsis

When talking about leadership at an educational level, the challenge is greater, since there are many elements that converge since it is not only about managing resources, but about motivating people so that they help strengthen qualities and competencies of students. Educational leadership is a mirror of educational quality, that is, the effectiveness of the educational organization and the integrity of the students.

Hence, educational leadership must be transformed through creativity and innovation. Leadership definitely evolves with people, with generations, with society's megatrends or development styles that set the tone for generating strategies and responding effectively to those changes resulting from social evolution. According to these changes, the role of the leader is energized, charisma or knowledge is not enough, leaders must reinvent themselves, therefore innovation, creativity, and permanent qualification are necessary. There are countless classifications of leadership; today, leadership is required that positively transforms lives, that promotes change through innovation and creativity, and that anticipates changes. Having the opportunity to discern ideas, concepts, analyze authors, share experiences and perceptions with students, teachers, businessmen on the topic of leadership through interviews, experiences, documentary analysis, allows us to obtain greater depth in the topics of interest.
