Abstract
This monograph explores the contributions of one educational leader at the School of Education (SOE). The University of the West Indies, St. Augustine, Trinidad and Tobago. Using the biographical approach, which incorporates life story, archival notes, and narratives, two researchers—one having been a colleague—narrate the experiences, practices, and perspectives of Carol Keller, referred to as CK for purposes of this study. The co-authors illustrate the evolutionary and relational nature of leadership in CK’s life; and share some of his contributions in the transformation of the SOE and his transformative role in the lives of his colleagues, from their perspective. Colleagues contributed research poems based on their experiences and observations of CK in his various roles. He is revealed as one who was about service; who shared a context-driven vision; and exemplified authentic, caring, and transformative leadership, even though he was critical of these ways of describing and researching the phenomenon of leadership.
