Language: English (en)
Summary: Controversy has surrounded the educational leadership preparation programs in the past few years. Methodology, course content and rigor are included in the targeted areas. As universities struggle with program improvements, this paper suggests that an ignored aspect has been the instruction of desirable leadership traits and characteristics for transformational change in the schools. A review of literature supports the call for a closer look at traits, characteristics and behaviors as identified by several authors in this document. Although the terminology or approach may differ, the commonality can be summarized in the findings of Daniel Goleman and his study of emotional intelligence (EQ). As educational leadership preparation programs continue to be scrutinized and retooled, the inclusion of emotional intelligence would serve as a balance for program instruction. Programs have been focusing on the development of IQ; the time has come to embrace the research on EQ.
