Slater, Mike Boone, Isaías Álvarez, Carlos Topete, Elizabeth Iturbe, Melinda Base, Sharon Fillion, Holly Galloway, Lisa Elena Korth, and Linda Muñoz  \nAbstract  \nThis study used a qualitative approach to analyze ideal images of educational leadership among administrators in Mexico City and South Texas. Looking at educational leadership from a cross-cultural perspective revealed issues that are hidden when working in just one culture. Though both groups indicated that participation, clear communication, planned change, and attention to values were components of their best leadership experiences, there were subtle differences in how they discussed each dimension.  \nThis study examined ideal images of educational leadership among administrators in Mexico City and South Texas. How did the two groups conceive of ideal leadership, and what were the differences and similarities in leadership? The answers to these questions within each culture are important in defining the direction of educational administration preparation programs. A cross-cultural approach highlights and contrasts what each group values.  \nParticipants in the study wrote essays describing their ideal leadership experiences. A qualitative, open-ended approach was used to analyze the themes expressed in each essay. The themes ofthe two countries were compared, with particular attention to culture and values.  \nCultural Considerations  \nCulture gives leadership different and varied forms. Some aspects of leadership are universal, and others are particular to a culture. Over the years, anthropologists and researchers have proffered numerous definitions of culture. Geertz (1973, 89) described culture asthe way people “communicate, perpetuate, and develop their knowledge about attitudes toward life.” Trompenaars (1993, 26) considered culture to be “man-made, confirmed by others, conventionalized, and passed on for younger people or newcomers to learn.” Dim-  \n154  \nResearch Reports  \nmock and Walker (2000a, 146) defined culture as “the enduring sets of beliefs, values, and ideologies underpinning structures, processes, and practices which distinguish one group from another.” Hofstede (1980, 25) viewed culture as “the collective programming of the mind that distinguishes the members of one human group from another.”  \nPeople attain culture as members of a society, and their behavior is shaped and influenced by that society’s cultural rules. Native culture becomes ingrained in the unconscious. Offerman and Hellman (1997) agreed with many cultural theorists that this ingrained cultural behavior rarely is replaced by another set of behaviors, even after extended residence in a society with different cultural norms.  \nPeople have cultural patterns of behavior, perceptions, and cognition that seem natural and universal to them. They often are unaware that these patterns are, for the most part, culturally based, and that individuals of other cultures may differ in how they characteristically act, perceive, and interpret behaviors in any given situation. According to Albert (1996), lack of cultural knowledge may lead to serious misunderstandings and possible conflicts among members of different cultures.  \nHallinger and Leithwood (1998) contended that understanding the impact of societal culture on educational practices and policies is essential to any research endeavor. They suggested that Hofstede’s (1980) cultural dimensions are useful in cross-cultural studies of educational leadership—at least in the early stages.  \nDimmock and Walker (2000a) recognized the impact of globalization on educational research and suggested a framework for undertaking cross-cultural educational research similar to that of Hallinger and Leithwood (1998). Dimmock and Walker (2000b) agreed with Hofstede (1980) that cultural dimensions allow researchers to describe, measure, and compare cultures.
