Hacia un liderazgo sostenible, más profundo, más prolongado, más amplio (Towards sustainable, deeper, longer and broader leadership)

SUMMARY

The succession of the principals is always a risk for the sustainability of the improvement in the school. Hence the need posed by the author to look for sustainable models of leadership in the educational field that, extrapolating the concept of environmental sustainability, allow preserving learning and keeping moving forward. In this context, he recalls seven basic principles of sustainable leadership: depth, duration, breadth, justice, diversity, inventiveness, and conservation. He emphasizes that sustainable leadership and educational improvement preserve and develop deep learning for everything that spreads and lasts, and they do so not to harm, but to generate benefits for their environment.ResumoA sucessão dos diretores é sempre um risco para a sustentabilidade da qualidade da escola. Por isso a necessidade de o autor buscar modelos sustentáveis de liderança no campo educacional que, extrapolando o conceito de sustentabilidade do ambiente, permite manter o aprendido e seguir avançando. Nesse contexto, ele lembra sete princípios básicos da liderança sustentável: profundidade, duração, abrangência, justiça, diversidade, inventividade e conservação. Enfatiza que liderança sustentável e melhora educacional preservam e desenvolvem o aprendizado profundo para tudo o que se espalha e dura, e fazem isso não para prejudicar, mas gerar benefícios para o seu entorno.ResumenLa sucesión de los directivos es siempre un riesgo para la sostenibilidad de la mejora en la escuela.
