Some interesting concepts came from this article. Leadership needs to be a part of the culture of the school, not dependent on one or two people. It needs to be a shared responsibility, so that if the principal or key teacher leaves the school, the school is not left without navigation, like a ship without a captain. The shared leadership embedded into the school community allows it to follow a constructive course as reform and self-renewal are undertaken.
In my role as a leader I need to be a good communicator and encourage conversations (both formal and informal) between my team members so that they are able to create and validate new understandings. We should all be promoting the sharing of beliefs and information, encouraging learning together, offering support and reflecting on the path our journey is taking.
