(from A Principal's Reflections) Experienced principal and senior fellow at the International Center for Leadership in Education Eric Sheninger advises school leaders: "Many overemphasize the vision aspect of change. This is a great start, but clarity of purpose must translate into action. It is easy to lose focus on the 'how' and actual evidence of improvement. Real change relies on seeing the process through from vision to strategic plan and having accountability mechanisms in place to ensure efficacy. Leadership is not telling others what they should do, but instead showing them how to do it. Accountability is the linchpin in the change process."
