  9. Transformational Leadership

  10. Transformational Leadership “Creating the conditions for second order change to occur in a collaborative setting by allowing individuals and groups of individuals to challenge the status quo and develop new ways of meeting challenges and solving complex problems, with sustainable results.” Edwards 2007

  11. What Jerry Said Yesterday… • Transformational leadership with flexible strategies by all in usually necessary to achieve lasting, second-order change (building capacity)

  12. Distributive Leadership

  13. Distributive Leadership Defined “The active formation and facilitation of leadership activity and connection at different points within and across the school. Distributive leadership is not restricted to any particular pattern and cannot be prescribed in advance but emerges within the organization to solve problems and take action.” Harris 2006

  14. Distributive leadership • Harnessing the leadership potential within the organization • The focus is on leadership activity at the school level rather than at the level of the individual leader • Concept of the “self managing school” • Leadership as an organizational resource that is maximized through the interactions between individuals and teams • Implies sustained boundary interaction • Leadership practice is a set of complex interactions between and across individuals • Distributive leadership is not about delegating more

  15. Examples in Practice • Examples of Transformational and Distributive Leadership in practice • Michael Wortman Principal Lincoln High School Lincoln, Nebraska • SLC 9-12 • Janet Valeri Principal Amherst Street Elementary School Nashua, New Hampshire • School wide data teams and data talks • Lee Carelli Principal Pine Grove Middle School East Syracuse, New York • Leadership team and faculty teams

  16. The Power of Understanding and Applying Multiple Frames

  17. Understanding and Applying a Variety of Leadership Practices • Keep in mind: • Leaders don’t select a frame and apply it but rather are knowledgeable about multiple leadership practices/theories and apply them as appropriate to your situation • “It’s Tuesday so I will be transformational”

  18. Advance the ball…

  19. First and Second Order Change • 1st order • Incremental • 2nd order • Significant departure form the norm • Deep change affecting values, beliefs and assumptions • Slow, evolving process over time • Addressing complex problems requiring new, thoughtful and often creative comprehensive solutions • Double loop learning where new strategies are needed to solve problems • Become institutionalized in the culture of the organization
