Dantley and Tillman believe that schools are important sites for the work of social justice and that work begins with educational leaders who must move from passive discourse to proactive practice that will produce socially just outcomes for all children (2010).

Sergiovanni discussed how leadership takes many forms. Good leaders can be stewards and/or servants.
