“Managing Changes in Schools“

In order to plan, lead, organize, control, in a word – to manage, means to make decisions and to implement. To be with an open mind and determined in various situations, to be a democrat, but a dictator as well,even a manipulator. Management, as a modern, universal process, requires the manager to properly use the maximum power and responsibility that are given to his function, to gain authority in the institution that he is managing,use his ability to influence over the others, the employees in the institution that he is managing, to use their power properly and never forget their significance. Whether we see the management as a science, a proffesion or a skill, it is a continuous process that is constantly moving and changing. Troughout it’s development it has been trough various schools, but all of them are based on the same – the basic functions that the successful functioning of the institutions in the society depends on, and the civilization in general. The society changes, especially in the recent decades, and coping with these changes doesn’t mean slowing them down, but contrary – it means learning the most effective and efficient way to exceed the problems that are an inevitable part of the changes. Changes in society are changes in education, and changes in education change the place that the educational institutions have in the country, and that inevitably leads to changes in running and managing with the educational institutions. Changes in order to increase the quality of management towards improving the quality of educational services to the demans od the modern times. Only a modern management is appropriate to modern times. The director, as a lead character in the implementation of management in schools, has the responsibility of coping with the needs of modern times, setting goals and scoring in a high level, because living means solving problems, and growing means greater ability to solve bigger problems
