“…Theories on how to be an effective manager and models for how to be an influential leader can be found in many texts and research reports. In addition to various theories and models, numerous researchers have explored methods for educational leadership and management (Rea et al, 2017).

This study utilized a survey to explore the relationships between servant leadership characteristics of school teachers, student success, and organizational health in selected public schools. This study hypothesized that the servant leadership of school teachers would positively affect student success and the organizational health of public schools. The Organizational Leadership Assessment was used (Laub, 1999) to collect data from fifteen public schools in Houston, Texas. Data were screened for normality, linearity, and homoscedasticity to ensure that the regression results were robust, and univariate and multivariate analyses were used to determine the nature of the relationship between organizational health and servant leadership. Descriptive analysis explained variance in dependent and independent variables. The values people subscale was statistically significant.

“…Narrative inquiry is burgeoning in a number of fields including Education, Psychology, Medicine and Law amongst others, and is also being used in my field of English Language Teaching. At its simplest it is 'the study of experience as story' (Connelly & Clandinin, 2006, p.479) and is a way of researching which focuses on the whole and the specific, not the fragmented and the general (Damgaci & Aydin, 2018;Rea et al, 2017;Riessman, 2010). Narrative inquiry foregrounds the telling of stories as a way of giving and exploring meanings of an individual's experience.…”

To research the transition experiences of a group of international postgraduate students, this study focused on the use of a methodology which, although gaining much popularity in recent years, is still under used in UK Higher Education Institution (HEI) contexts. Narrative inquiry is arguably the most suitable way of uncovering and understanding more deeply the complex and multi-layered experiences of individuals, focusing as it does on the study of 'lived experience-that is, lives and how they are lived'. Here, the focus was five Latin American postgraduate students. Little research to date has focused on this group of students in terms of transition and learning experiences using this refreshingly different methodology, whose use and aim is to 'paint a complex picture of the issue in focus. In this particular study this issue was to both understand how these five students coped with challenges inherent in their transition to the UK and their studies here as well as use such understanding to inform teaching practice.

The practices and overt behaviors of leaders are the immediate causes of their impact on organizations; they also dominate discussions on effective leadership and frequently shape the content of leadership development programs. However, understanding these practices is at best a necessary but not a complete explanation for effective leadership and its development. This paper delves into three categories of "personal leadership resources" that are instrumental in explaining the behavior of particularly effective leaders. These resources are often termed "dispositions," a label sometimes used interchangeably with traits, abilities, personal leadership resources, and components of a leader's personal "capital." The emphasis of this section is on three categories of resources (social, psychological, and ethical), primarily identified through systematic research methods. For each category, the paper outlines the conceptual framework used to view its dispositions and explains how each specific disposition within the category contributes to a leader's effectiveness. Additionally, the paper reviews evidence regarding how each disposition aids leaders in achieving valuable organizational outcomes. The final section discusses implications for research and leadership development.
