In this bold step forward, Fullan calls for principals to become agents as well as beneficiaries of the processes of school change. In an effort to make the position more rewarding and exciting, he shifts the principal′s role from one of a site-based superman or superwoman, and recasts it as one in which principals figure prominently both within their school and within the larger school system that surrounds them. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConcepts explored in-depth include: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy \"changing the context\" should be the main agenda for the principalship \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy barriers to the principalship exist \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy the principal should be seen as the COO (chief operating officer) of a school \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy the role of the principal should figure more prominently within the system \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat individuals and the system can do to transform school leadership to a powerful new force\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe challenge, and moral imperative, for today′s principal is to lead system transformations to resolve the top-down\/bottom-up dilemma that exists in systemic change.
