Ethical Leadership in Traditional Education Institutions: A Study in the Jurisprudence of Value-Based Administration

About this book

Within the walls of the historic schools redolent with history in Morocco lie leadership secrets modern management theories have yet to discover. In this book, Dr. Hamid Lahmouid opens a unique window onto a world blending the strictness of scientific instruction and the sublimity of spiritual education, where a principal's competence is not measured by the number of files completed, but by the depth of the value-based impact he leaves in his students' souls. The pages of this work progress from vague questions about how these scientific beacons endure modernization's winds, to real inspiration drawing its fuel from "the jurisprudence of value-based administration." The author takes you on an exploratory journey transcending administrative offices to settle in knowledge circles, where "leadership by example" is the method, and "consultation" is the scale. It is no mere dry academic research, but an ethical charter redefining the concept of authority within educational institutions, seeking that fine line between preserving authenticity and religious identity, and openness to contemporary governance tools. This book is an invitation to every educator and leader to contemplate our historical roots, not to weep over ruins, but to formulate a "human" leadership model that sees in the student a project of knowledge and ethics, and in administration a heavenly mission before being an earthly job. It is the story of the search for the lost balance in a material age, where values become the true engine of institutional success.
