Innovation and change generally and simply is about changing things
and innovate in order to develop the old ideas into something benefits people. Therefore to be a successful and a good leader, you have to explore in things that you dont expect. Leaders should be specialized in dealing with the innovation and changes issues and problems that caused from the changes. In this course, Ive learnt that innovation and changes have a positive and a negative impact. Moreover, I learnt that the change leader characterized by several things, such as moral purpose, understanding change, relationship building, have the knowledge of creation and sharing, coherence making. In addition, there are several types of leadership and management models, and each one is characterized on something. One of them is called Bureaucratic which is the most formal one, which is standing on specific standards. The other one is the Collegial Style model. It is a style that depends on the discussions to make decisions. The last two are the transformational model and the transactional leadership. Transformational model is about doing things to attract others and inspire them, even if it was beyond their works and requirements. On the other hand, the last model is the transactional model focus on the basics of the management process. In addition, I did an interview with my principal during my teaching practice, which allowed me to find out and search about the type of my principal. That helped me in exploring about the different models and to know the differences between them. Moreover, it allowed me to distinguish between them. Furthermore, it opened my eyes on how do schools in my country managed. This course had benefit me in changing my thoughts about the managements, their types, and their role in the sectors. And the learning still going on, Im still learning about it and doing some readings. Although, we still have a presentation which is about comprehension between three principal and their type. On occasion of that, this presentation will help us in developing our knowledge, by sharing and discussing. Because, it is as a group work. There are some changes are ongoing. Such as the curriculum. Its already changed, but theyre working in developing and changing it to a better curriculum that suits the students needs and meet it. And because of the changing, there are issues that faces the principal and the other stakeholders. Which the principals have to face it and solve it. And that will show the good model and manner of a good principal.

because that model did inspired me. Which is standing on discussion-making and collaborative things. Moreover, they are very flexible and friendly.
