Administrators and teachers alike are searching for ideas, strategies and ways in which to turn schools around.“The essence of competitiveness is liberated when we make people believe that what they think and do is important—and then get out of their way while they do it,”was Jack Welch’s mantra while he was C.E.O. of The General Electric Corporation in the 1990’s. Welch was wise enough to realize that ALL business is a people business. Education, of course, is all about people—individuals who want the best for the students. In this article we discuss what teachers want in leaders and how trust, respect, time and resources can pave the road to teacher effectiveness and ultimately school improvement.  \nAccording to Goleman (2006), the most effective leaders are those who are trustworthy, empathetic and connected. These leaders make us feel calm, appreciated and inspired.

Trust is the key to any successful school relationship because without trust a significant and long lasting symbiotic relationship cannot exist. Trust at times seems to be a simple concept; it is, however, a very complex phenomenon that is critically pivotal in the teacher-administrator relationship. When a leader is trusted, teachers will not only respect the leader, they will make an emotional investment in him and his educational vision. Trusted leaders are straight forward in a genteel way; they treat everyone with dignity and respect, make their expectations known, guide, facilitate and never take others for granted. They recognize that leadership is all about relationships centered on trust.  \nTrusted leaders can be counted on to be fair. Teachers want to know that they can goto the administrator with their concerns and suggestions and geta fair response. A leader who exhibits trust establishes two-way communication and listens to these concerns and suggestions with respect and an open mind. Mindful teachers realize that their ideas and concerns may not always be a priority, but they want to be heard and given sincere consideration.  \nTeachers want to work with administrators who do what they say they will do regardless of how minuscule it might be. Teachers give their all to leaders who can be trusted to follow through on their commitments while nurturing the best interest of students, staff, and the school. Teachers yearn for their leader’s support and encouragement and ultimately for the freedom to make a difference in their classrooms. They trust that the leader will help them and will protect them. Teachers want leaders who have confidence in their knowledge, skills, talents and experiences (Morgan & Lynch, 2006) .
