Preparing students for College life and most importantly for life
beyond high school is a key challenge for many educators and secondary
education institutions. Above all, today more than ever, educators must
prepare students for the unknown and the unpredictable; careers not yet
known to us, opportunities that we can not imagine, and for a world so
different that we have no idea what it will look like in thirty or
forty years. Hence some of the questions that arise are as follows:
what shall we teach our students? What skills do we expect them to
develop; and which processes shall we help them cultivate? We (Gialamas
and Pelonis) believe that the answers deriving from the teachings of
the ancient Greeks, are encompassed in the concept of “Morfosis”.

Living in a rapidly evolving society where change occurs continuously and on multiple levels, has created a need, more than ever before, for leadership that reflects this new reality. The changes in demographics, the forming of multicultural families, the diversity on an economic, educational, social and ethnic level, as well as the further rise of multinational corporations are all changes that are challenging traditional values and principles. Thus the quest for Authentic Leadership is rising, and it is an idea which implies that leadership is very personal. Why Authentic leadership? One might ask. Because, “there is evidence of the desire for authenticity all around us in popular culture”. (Goffee & Jones, 2006, p.3)
