My question is - what are the implications of being offered ST or leadership track? Thanx!

Leadership track is more versatile.
Usually see HODs stepping down to become STs, but seldom see STs become HODs.
Progression-wise, leadership track has more room for advancement. At SEO level, you can be SH, HOD in academic and non-academic areas. There are more of such positions than ST roles, which are limited to your subject.
Can climb higher to director level in HQ, or to VP/P in schools.
Whereas ST roles are far more limited. At most become a staffer at one of the academies at AST.
Although on paper can change tracks, but it is not so easy as different tracks require building up of different portfolios.
