3. Educational Effectiveness
and Efficiency
An education system may be called efficient
when it attains the maximum level of results
for a minimum level of investment.
-Investments and results in this context must
be evaluated, aggregated, measured, and
marked.
4. High Productivity
The benefits of high productivity are manifold. At the
national level, productivity growth raises living
standards because more real income improves
people's ability to purchase goods and services, enjoy
leisure, improve housing and education and contribute
to social and environmental programs. Productivity
growth is important to the firm because it means that
the firm can meet its (perhaps growing) obligations to
customers, suppliers, workers, shareholders, and
governments (taxes and regulation), and still remain
competitive or even improve its competitiveness in the
market place.
5. Good Organizational
leadership
Organizations that excel over long periods of time typically have
been able to sustain strong leadership over a relatively long
period of time. They have good governing bodies and effective
chief executives, and they aspire to become something better
than they are. They are constantly learning, building on their
experiences, developing their people, and improving their
results. For them, “good enough” never is. The most effective
boards and the most effective executives go hand in hand. You
won’t find one without the other for very long. Unfortunately,
the converse is also true. The perpetually troubled organizations
have neither effective boards nor effective executives.
6. High Morale
The state of the spirits of a person
or group as exhibited by
confidence, cheerfulness,
discipline, and willingness to
perform assigned tasks.
7. Organizational reputation
Successful organizations are aware of the
importance of reputation. A positive reputation
brings trust, confidence, and sales, which are
ultimately reflected in revenue growth and
profitability. A bad reputation can lead to a
decrease in consumer confidence, and, in turn, a
reduction in revenue and profits.
8. High Organizational growth and
stability
• Their leaders are relatively clear, fair, and talent-oriented. They
are more
likely to promote the best people for a job, make sure
performance expectations
are clear, and convince employees that their behaviors affect the
success of the
organization.
• They are superior in terms of clarifying performance measures,
training
people to do their jobs, and enabling employees to work well
together.
They also make customer needs a high priority.
9. Value to the community
Communities of Practice enhance behavioural changes in
educational leadership and professional development. They
promote and facilitatecollaboration between teachers
and administrators and encourage a collaborative
approach to professional development focussed on
student needs. Leaders begin to recognise the expertise
existing in the school. Through community activity,
this expertise is naturally passed on to novice
members. Principals develop their capacity as instructional
leaders and build the school's capacity for learning
10. Service to the public
Public services tend to be those considered as so essential to
modern life that for moral reasons their universal provision
should be guaranteed. They may be associated with
fundamental human rights (such as the right to water). An
example of a service which is not generally considered an
essential public service is hairdressing. The Volunteer Fire
Dept. and Ambulance Corps. are institutions with the
mission of servicing the community. A service is helping
others with a specific need or want. Here, service ranges
from a doctor curing an illness, to a repair person, to a food
pantry.
