What is your philosophy of leadership?

“To provide all the necessary support for the development of the team & lead from a distance”

I believe in the delegation of responsibilities and in giving the required freedom to the team members, be it the principal or the faculty. So, they know how best to impart education regularly. I am more involved in the overall strategic planning and infrastructure for my institute.
