Abstract	This paper will identify the dialogical and inquiry-based case methodology used to explore leadership and ethical development with supervisory officers. The case process helped to illuminate educators' professional knowledge and the cognitive frames used to make decisions. Supervisory officers were able to study the diverse contextual influences upon their professional practice as a means to their ongoing learning and leadership formation. This exploration was facilitated by explicating the multiplicity of dilemmas, tensions or issues that emerge within the educational leadership practices of supervisory officers. Dilemmas encountered in practice served as catalysts for fostering additional professional insight and understanding. Many leadership issues require ethical deliberation, analysis and reflection. These processes can ultimately enhance ethical knowledge. Professional practice and be significantly advanced using ethical dilemmas experienced by educators as the core focus for ethical case discussions and for illuminating ethical frameworks. This narrative approach is effective pedagogy for leadership formation.
