Abstract
The current review study aims to explore the concept of self and its role in self- leadership and propose strategies for teacher leaders in enhancing their awareness of personal qualities in leading their classrooms. This inside-out effect of self and self- development can be the key to success for the leader to pave the way for more sustainable development in the organization and its components. The inside-out effect is a transformational change within a leader and reflects the beauty inside the world outside by creating a relationship in his leadership. The main goal of the current paper is to review the way this internal process occurs and manifests in a whole person called a leader from different theoretical perspectives. The current study is a review paper that reviews and analyzes existing scholarly work and literature on leadership and its effectiveness. Based on the review, implications for the teachers and principals are discussed.
