Maxwell’s words were the core of a philosophy shared with us early in our careers as educational building leaders. In talking to other leaders, we quickly learned we would only be as effective of a leader as the strength of those we surrounded ourselves with on a daily basis. While observing school leaders, we noted the most effective leaders shared their power and knowledge freely with others. In addition, we soon understood that taking the time to develop leadership potential in others would assist greatly in our efforts to shape and share the vision for the buildings we served. These beliefs propelled us to get involved in the very first master’s level Professional Administrative Leadership Academy developed between Kansas State University (KSU) in collaboration with Geary County Schools, Salina Schools and Manhattan Schools in Kansas.1 The opportunity to be directly involved in developing future building leaders was something we knew would help us grow in our own positions and also ensure that the work we had devoted our lives and careers to would continue on in our absence. The ability to foster the type of thinking that promotes and creates positive learning environments in building educators and staff is imperative for student learning. The concept that schools must promote student growth and learning is the catalyst from which all efforts of school leaders should be based. However, not all potential school leaders understand the basis from which they should lead. The ability to influence this philosophy in future leaders was paramount in our decisions to take on leadership roles in developing future school administrators. Political Dr. Debra M. Gustafson serves as principal of Keith L. Ware Elementary school in Geary County Schools. Her thirty-nine-year career in USD 475 includes twenty-four as a building principal. Dr. Gustafson has been involved with the KSU Leadership Academy partnerships since they were established in USD 475 as a researcher, mentor, guest instructor and currently as partner liaison. She is an assistant professor at Kansas State University and completed her Ed.D at KSU with a case study of the leadership academy model.
