Distributed Leadership Matters
Distributed Leadership Matters: Perspectives, Practicalities, and Potential
Author - Alma Harris
Distributed leadership – engaging the many rather than the few in school improvement – has long been a promising theory. But it must be implemented effectively before educators and students can reap the rewards, including improved learner outcomes and stronger organizational performance.
Distributed leadership is primarily concerned with the interactions and the dynamics of leadership practice rather than a preoccupation with the formal roles and responsibilities traditionally associated with those “who lead”. This book argues that it is the practice of leadership that is most important if the goal, in schools, is to secure better instruction and improved learner outcomes.
Distributed Leadership Matters offers pragmatic approaches for realising these benefits. First, Alma Harris shows why harnessing educators’ collective expertise is an improvement strategy worth adopting. Then she details the collaborative processes that make it happen. Insights include:
1. how to translate the research on distributed leadership into tangible results for your school,
2. methods for building the social capital necessary for sustainable institutional change, and
3. how to distribute leadership widely and wisely through professional collaboration.
The old-fashioned “top-down” leadership style no longer works for today’s schools. Distributed Leadership Matters is a bold step into the future.
