Leading Excellence is the title of the report on the 'Leadership for Implementing Improvements in the Learning and Teaching Quality Cycle' project (LE613) funded by the Australian Learning and Teaching Council (ALTC) during 2006-2008.

The purpose of the project was to develop a tangible leadership tool, in the form of a framework, which would identify and bring together in a practical way key elements which underpin effective leadership of change and improvement.

Centre for the Advancement of Learning and Teaching (CALT)

The project was coordinated by CALT staff at Monash University and involved extensive development, consultation, testing and evolution of an emerging leadership framework which was initially conceived by reflecting on earlier efforts to lead change within the Faculty of Education at Monash.

The leadership tool which grew out of the project and is described in the report is the Engaging Leadership Framework (ELF).
