Abstract

This monographic study entitled “Education Management: A Leadership Position at School” is a bibliographical research in the context of knowledge production. The work aimed at discussing the importance of an education management delineated by the leadership position in the administrative and educational actions. Firstly, one briefly analyzed the historical evolution of the educational management and its implication nowadays. Following that, one started from the leadership models of great leaders as Welch, Hunter, Farber and Bernardinho, and tried to define the role of leadership in an institution. At last, tracing some features of the leader managers and relating the benefits of the leadership in the educational action, one can realize that schools which have leader managers and provide the formation of new leaders, are more easily able to reach the proposed goals, once they have a fundamental role for the good course of educational activities, providing a proper environment to learning and to personal and professional growth of those involved in the teachinglearning process. Through basic actions as: serving, loving, respecting, influencing and working hard, the leader manager is able to be closer to each student’s reality and also to the community where he/she is living, establishing bonds with the local society and thus conquering their respect and admiration.
