Who is a good leader ?

TIMES NEWS NETWORK Who leads an institution? Is it someone with an outstanding teaching and academic record or someone with good managerial skills? Or is it just the right combination of both? Education Times takes the opinion of the academic fraternity
K K Aggarwal, VC, GGSIPU An institution's head needs to have combined skills of a good researcher, teacher and manager. He should be a role model in himself, he should be someone whom you wish to emulate. If you can inspire your students and teachers, your work is half done.
Gauri Kumar, director general, NIFT It's quite a pertinent question. The making and damage of an institution entirely depends upon an institution's head. The head should be an interdisciplinary person with a 360 degree vision.
He should be passionate about his institution and loyal to the institution's agenda. Aditi Dimri, mathematics honours, final year, St Stephens If you take a student's perspective, he would always like a teacher to become an institution's head.
Though the trend has changed and we find a person from the industry or defense background as an institution's head because they have good managerial skills, yet I will opt for a teacher.
I feel only a teacher can understand a student best. The new trend is to maximise the profit of privately administered schools and colleges instead of taking care of students. A principal must have an outstanding teaching record.
