Abstract

This paper reviews the leadership perspectives, strengths, and significant accomplishments of PNC/PNU Presidents from 1950 to 2010. To support the data, nine inaugural addresses and annual reports of each president were collated, analyzed and individually highlighted their aspirations and plans. All of the Normal Presidents acknowledged the achievements of their predecessors. Each president has his/her own uniqueness in addressing challenges to pursue the institutional vision and mission. Each one counted on the active participation of all members, constrained by how they responded to the culture and ethos of the academe and other stakeholders. At the end of every presidential term emerges a new leadership; hence, the unending search for a dynamic leader, who will make a difference in making PNU perform as the Center of Teacher Education. The challenge is on today and beyond.
