6. Leadership Failure
“….the single most common source of leadership failure we’ve been able to identify – in politics, community life, business, or the non-profit sector – is that people, especially those in positions of authority, treat adaptive challenges like technical problems” (Heifetz & Linsky, 2002, p. 14).

7. Challenges Leaders Face
Technical
Adaptive
Challenges that can be solved by knowledge of experts. Change has a clearly defined problem, solution and implementation.
Change must come from new learning and from the collective intelligence of employees at all levels.

Culture: the norms and values that drive the behavior and work. Discuss the compass points. Discuss how we organized ourselves to get the work done. How was the culture built in the school?
Systems: which are the processes and procedures through which work gets done
Structures: help define how the work of the district gets done. It includes how people are organized, who has responsibility and accountability for results, and who makes or influences decisions. Structures can be both formal (deliberately established organizational forms) and informal (the way decisions get made or the way people work and interact outside of formal channels). (Develops procedures for developing learning outcomes of each meeting). (Plans a schedule that enables quality instruction)
Stakeholders: The people and groups inside and outside of the district - district and school staff, governing bodies, unions and associations, parents and parent organizations, civic and community leaders and organizations.
Resources: Managing the flow of financial resources throughout the organization is important, but resources also include people and physical assets such as technology and data.
