It is argued that when teachers as leaders work with and for othersto build communities that are relevant and meaningful they can have an impact on collectivegrowth. The paper adopts a different approach, one that encourages the reader to engagenot only at the conceptual level but to move from in inward to an outward perspective.The intention being to get the reader to make personal decisions that can have an impact atthe personal and collective level. It is argued that only in this way can change be brought about.
