Resumen en español

Although leadership has always been present in history, it seems to have become more relevant in recent years in various aspects of daily life. In education, the importance of teacher leadership is higher now than ever due to the globalization and unprecedented technological changes that educators are facing. This document seeks to reflect our previous knowledge on leadership, as well as deepening the research and definitions of authors on the subject. Likewise, this document includes our first insights about empowerment and the use we give to our assumptions to lead educational processes and how they lead us to leadership empowerment. This study is important because of the pressing need to improve teaching and learning processes, and, in turn, because of the fundamental role of teachers as agents of change in society.
