Abstract

Dr. Myer Horowitz, Professor Emeritus University of Alberta, shares his experiences as an educational leader and administrator in an interview videotaped in the fall of 2007 in Montreal. Horowitz traces his career path beginning in 1951 and then, using examples from his past, characterizes the essence of effective leadership today. He stresses the importance of establishing clear goals, accepting responsibility in helping people to implement goals, and the need to do this in a sensitive, caring, and holistic manner.
