More than a VISION

• Bamburg and Andrews (1990) believe that to be an
  effective instructional leader, one must
• 1. have a vision for the organization that is
  clearly focused upon desired outcome (i.e.,
  "ensuring academic excellence")
• 2. communicate that vision to everyone connected
  with the organization to obtain support for it
• 3. provide and/or obtain the resources needed to
  accomplish the vision (i.e., materials,
  information, or opportunity)
• 4. manage oneself so the above can occur. (p. 29)
