As one of the oldest art forms, poetry has successfully connected various strands of humanity (人性)from one generation to another. Referring to poetry, Hillyer makes a simple yet meaningful statement, With this key mankind unlocked his heart. School leaders can find and make use of the value of poetry for themselves, their students and theirstaff members. Beyond the simple use of poetry, techniques of poetry such as metaphors, repetitions andimagery can be used to take advantage of the power of language to transform munication, create meaning and a culture of care and attention. Since schools are mainly about people and relationships, school leaders, like poets, are required toinspire and encourage the human heart. The use of poetry-or even of some techniques of poetry-inschool leadership not only helps to improve munication, but also serves to meet the human need forinspiration.24.
