1. Shared Leadership Keith Eades Melanie Honeycutt

2. Shared Leadership What does it look like – Give power. – Define the limits – Cultivate a climate – Give qualified people discretion and autonomy – Don’t second guess

3. Leadership Is Proactive Is transparent Transforms schools Creates an environment where students learn and teachers grow Needs to be embedded in all job roles Is a social act Creates processes and systems Aligns horizontally and vertically Sets the vision, aligns and motivates the people to implement positive sustained improvement

4. “A highly effective school leader can have a dramatic influence on the overall academic achievement of students.” BreakThrough Fullan, Hill 2005

5. Real 21st Century transformation cannot occur unless administrators free people to Lead with questions, not answers. Engage in dialogue and debate, not coercion. Conduct autopsies, without blame. Speak up when they identify a problem. Daniel Pink - DRIVE

6. The most effective change in school culture happens when principals, teachers, and students model the values and beliefs important to the institution. The actions of the principal are noticed and interpreted by others as "what is important."

7. Roadblocks Reactive Poor communication of goals, vision or motivates Process and systems are restrictive or counterproductive Leadership is not distributed

8. Effective leadership means more than simply knowing what to do–it’s knowing when, how, and why to do it. Effective leaders understand how to balance pushing for change while at the same time, protecting aspects of culture, values, and norms worth preserving. They know which policies, practices, resources, and incentives to align and how to align them with organizational priorities. They know how to gauge the magnitude of change they are calling for and how to tailor their leadership strategies accordingly. Finally, they understand and value the people in the organization. They know when, how, and why to create learning environments that support people, connect them with one another, and provide the knowledge, skills, and resources they need to succeed. This combination of knowledge and skills is the essence of balanced leadership
