Yesterday I was reading a dissertation draft for a colleague seeking her doctoral degree, and I was intrigued by something I ran across in her literature review:
"Research suggests the need for leaders to better understand distributive leadership and how to employ the distribution of not only tasks, but also accountability and ownership, across systems."
Sounds logical enough, doesn't it? But do we as leaders make a concerted effort to do this? Too often leaders delegate tasks, but fail to build capacity in the leadership of others. To move the educational glacier, it will take everyone's help and buy-in.
In our upcoming book, Transforming Ice Age Schools that will be published by Rowman and Littlefield this fall, we offer tips and strategies to do just this thing. However, we know that there are so many more great ideas out there resonating with leaders just like you.
Why not join our community of practice and share your ideas here? We'd love to hear from you!
