In this clip, he discusses differences in implementing a values-based model of leadership at religious institutions and at secular institutions.  One is more likely to find teachers already committed to what Burford refers to as a covenental approach (i.e., one based on commitments concerning the moral purpose of their work as educators) at religious institutions.  However, he claims that the values-based model of 'Leadership as a Moral Process' that is at the center of the Leaders Transforming Learners and Learning (LTLL) project does work at secular institutions as well.
