ABSTRACT

This study aims to explore the leadership of the local education network (LEN) by conducting a case study of three LENs which have been considered as successful models by the Samsung Dream Scholarship Foundation. For the analysis, in-depth interviews of the leaders of the three LENs as well as an thorough examination of the related documents were conducted. The results of the study show that the leadership of the three LENs have the following characteristics in common: 1) the leaders hold their values towards the welfare of the children in their local areas and strengthen the internal motivation of the members of the LENs for their activities by giving meaning to those activities constantly; 2) the LENs give their priority to their human resources and thus emphasize the professional development as well as experiential and practice learning of their members; 3) the LENs facilitates the communication and interaction among the network members based on the empathy and support; and 4) the leaders of the LENs encourage the autonomy and participation of the network members by delegating their own authorities to them. Altogether, these results suggest that the success of the LENs requires an alternative leadership which is different from the traditional leadership which relies on the official position and authority of a leader.
