<p><b>The New Zealand Teaching Council’s Leadership Strategy vision is:To enable every teacher, regardless of their role or setting, to have the opportunity to develop their own leadership capability so that through principled and inspirational leadership, a culturally capable, competent and connected teaching profession achieves educational equity and excellence for all children and young people in Aotearoa New Zealand (Education Council, 2018b, p. 4).</b></p> <p>There is however a lack of clarity about how this vision can be achieved.

Insight Into

This chapter offers insight into how change and uncertainty challenges effective leadership practices and offers guidance on how leaders can successfully lead in uncertain times. It adds to the existing field of studies by offering leaders a framework and specific ways to understand and consequently embrace and harness uncertainty. With the turmoil of 2020 as backdrop, effective leaders will need to master 3 tasks: 1) to pace the changes to which their teams are exposed, 2) to shape how changes are perceived by their team, and 3) to manage the team's emotional reactions to change. As leaders envision the future, guide choices, tame apprehension, regulate expectations, experiment nimbly, and collaborate frequently, they will be able to channel the pressures of change to create positive outcomes for their teams and organizations. More importantly, organizations that create routines and processes that encourage, develop, and enable these behaviors internally will lead in a world where customer needs, employee demands, and shareholder expectations are continuously evolving.

Anchored in the anti-deficit approach, this manuscript investigated perceptions of effective leadership practices of presidents at historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs). This manuscript provides a unique contribution to the literature by utilizing a general qualitative research approach to learn from a diverse set of voices of leaders and scholars within this sector that serve in various roles (e.g., Deans, Vice Presidents, and scholars) or who study leadership at these institutions. The study found that effective leaders at HBCUs generally have success across two categories — experiential skills and professional knowledge. This study adds to the paucity of literature in this area by expanding and complicating our understanding of effective leadership practices of presidents at HBCUs.
