During the 3 years, I found that
leadership is a process of influencing
people to perform assigned tasks
willingly, efficiently and effectively.

DEFINE WHAT IS
LEADERSHIP GENERALLY
Maureen Metcalf & Mark Palmer
- Leadership is a process of influencing people directionally and
tactically, affecting change in intentions, actions, culture and
systems.
Oxford Dictionary
- The action of influencing people directionally and tactically, affecting
change in intentations, actions, culture & system
Avery ( 2004: 3)
- Leadership remains elusive and enigmatic, despite years of effort at
developing an intellectually and emotionally satisfying
understanding.
Western (2008)
- highlights the diverse and subjective nature of leadership when he says
it can have multiple forms and meanings and can be found in many
different places, so it may be considered individual, collective, or a
process depending on where we are looking. What is common is that
leader-ship operates in the realism of human relations.

A paradigm is a useful construct for framing our thinking
about a topic in this case, leadership
It provides a mental frame or lens through which we can
examine ideas and create an approach to researching the
experience of leadership
A paradigm is an academic device which provides :
a) a value position or perspective giving a world-view ;
b) stance or lens through which to examine the topic;
c) characteristics ;
d) features or concepts which make the paradigm
distinctive;
e) boundaries and scope to examine the topic in
different
situations and contexts;
f) using the paradigm features to develop understand;
g) models which can be derived from the above
ideology to use in practice. 14
The test of a paradigm is its usefulness when applied in the
real world.
One of the most important sets of skills required in a
changing world are the skills of leadership.
So, we could use acrobatic paradigm .
Basically acrobatic paradigm is the combination of three
major leadership styles (Democratic, Autocratic and
Shared leadership).
Balance (formerly known as Static) A balance routine
requires that certain poses or balances and must be held
static for a specific duration. These moves require strength,
poise, elegance and flexibility.
Acrobatic will combine into towers, or pyramids with the
tops holding a particular position balanced on their bases.

The History of
Acrobatics
Acrobatic traditions are found
in many cultures, and there is
evidence that the earliest such
traditions occurred thousands
of years ago. For example,
Minoan art from circa 2000 BC
contains depictions of
acrobatic feats on the backs of
bulls, which may have been a
religious ritual. Ancient Greeks
and Romans practiced
acrobatics, and the noble court
displays of the European
Middle Ages would often
19
include acrobatic performances
In China, acrobatics have been
a part of the culture since the
Western Han Dynasty (206 BC-
AD 220). Acrobatics were part of
village harvest festivals. During
the Tang Dynasty, acrobatics
saw much the same sort of
development as European
acrobatics saw during the Middle
Ages, with court displays during
the 7th through 10th century
dominating the practice.
Acrobatics continues to be an
important part of modern
Chinese variety art.
20
Though the term
initially applied to
tightrope walking, in the
19th century, a form of
performance art
including circus acts
began to use the term as
well. In the late 19th
century, tumbling and
other acrobatic and
gymnastic activities
became competitive
sport in Europe.

The Effective Principal
Attributes in Balanced
Leadership
Balanced leadership requires a new definition of
good leadership. This definition values both heart
and head. It present in every individual which
needed to achieve sustainable success.
28
Balance Roles And Responsibilities
It can divide two parts that the principal should to
balance.
1. the school human resource development
The school can not live without mobility, but
also can not to maintain stability. People don't
flow and less work pressure are easy to form a
gang lead bureaucratic climate in school.
Turnover speed too fast, especially loss personnel
in the important positions will strengthen the
human resource cost, affects the quality of the
morale and overall investment, also can cause
the overall quality is low.
29
2. school culture construction
In the process of construction of
school culture, the principal should
advocate the positive school culture
to praise and encouragement,
supplemented by criticism and
modification, in order to eliminate the
unhealthy culture.
30
The Effective Principal
Attributes in
Shared Leadership
The days of the principal as the lone
instructional leader are over. We no
longer believe that one administrator can
serve as the instructional leader for an
entire school without the substantial
participation of other educators (Elmore,
2000; Lambert, 1998; Lambert et al.,
1995; Lambert, Collay, Dietz, Kent, &
Richert, 1997; Olson, 2000; Poplin, 1994;
Spillane, Halverson, & Diamond, 2001).
31
Principals have understood that
we are all responsible for student
learning. More recently, principals
have come to realize that we are
responsible for our own learning as
well. But we usually do not move
our eyes around the roomacross
the tableand say to ourselves, I
am also responsible for the learning
of my colleagues.
32
The Characteristics
about Principal Use
Shared
Shared vision results inLeadership
program coherence.
Principal and teachers, as well as many parents and
students, participate together as mutual learners and
leaders in study groups, action research teams,
vertical learning communities, and learning-focused
staff meetings.
Inquiry-based use of information guides decisions and
practice.
Generating shared knowledge becomes the energy
force of the school. Principal, teachers, students, and
parents examine data to find answers and to pose
new questions. They get together to reflect, discuss,
analyze, plan, and act.
33
Roles and actions reflect broad involvement,
collaboration, and collective responsibility.
Principals engage in collaborative work across
grade levels through reflection, dialogue, and
inquiry. This work creates the sense that
principal share responsibly for the learning of
all students and adults in the school.
Reflective practice consistently leads to innovation.
Reflection enables principals to consider and
reconsider how they do things, which leads to
new and better ways. Principals reflect through
journaling, coaching, dialogue, networking, and
their own thought processes.

ACROBATIC
Paradigm in
Spotter - this is the individual who has an
Education
objective view of the partners, and whose
entire focus is on making sure that the Flyer
lands safely & also make recommendations to
the Base and Flyer to improve their form.
Flyer - moves into a series of dynamic
positions, and generally lets gravity do the
work for them. A Flyer needs balance,
confidence, and core strength.
Base - this is the individual who has the most points of contact
with the ground. This enables both the arms and legs to be
"bone-stacked" for maximum stability and support of the
spotter & flyer.

Professional development refers to the development of a person in his
or her professional role
Glattenhorn (1987),
# by gaining increased experience in ones teaching role they
systematically gain increased experience in their professional
growth through examination of their teaching ability.
Ganzer (2000)
# Professional workshops and other formally related meetings are
a part of the professional development experience .
Crowther et al (2000).
# professional development and other organized in-service programs
are deigned to foster the growth of teachers that can be used for
their further development .
Champion (2003)
# posited that regular opportunities and experiences for
professional development over the past few years had yielded
systematic growth and development in the teaching profession.
Darling-Hammond (1998) described Professional
Development Schools (PDS) as spaces where prospective
teacher and mentor teacher learning becomes :
1) experimental,
2) grounded in teacher questions,
3) collaborative,
4) connected to and derived from teachers' work with
their students, and
5) sustained, intensive, and connected to other aspects
of school change.
46
Acrobatic Leadership Workshop can helps teachers, staffs
and administrators learn about ways to use it to advance
professional practice and promote teaching quality in
schools.
Finally,
Acrobatic Leadership Workshop is a strategy to ensure
that educators continue to strengthen their practice
throughout their career.
This professional development engages teams of teachers
to focus on the needs of their students, involving the
management team in executing organizational plans and
the responsible of a principal in controlling and
overseeing the entire school. All levels of management
should work as a team to accomplish shared goals.
