What's the meaning of the underlined sentence? Thanks!
So the character of leadership may be approached from two different directions. On the one hand, it is a descriptive term to refer to the characteristics of the role – “what leaders do when they accomplish well what is formally expected of them”. On the other hand, we understand “character” as having a strong ethical resonance. In a school context, it has been described as the conscience, or moral compass, of the community – doing what is right, just and equitable.
