But this definition is too narrow for the concept “leadership” which entails a large responsibility for those who are in charge for conducting things. But when it comes to leadership in a teaching institute, things totally change whereby the responsibility is doubled. Therefore, leadership in teaching works towards both improving learning and teaching at the same time. High quality leaders may achieve this impact on the teaching/learning process through establishing clear directions for everyone to follow, providing teachers with training that will enhance their teaching techniques as well as finding suitable conditions in order to help both teaching and learning.
