A School or a (Not-For-Profit) Business?
“An independent school is a business and the Head's of today are CEO's. Understanding how to effectively manage a business is not something academics come to naturally. The learning curve is big for new Heads.” (H2#25)

Leadership means Influencing…
“Leadership is defined broadly as influencing task objectives and strategies, influencing commitment and compliance in task behaviour to achieve these objectives, influencing group maintenance and identification, and influencing the culture of an organization” (Yukl, 2002)
“influence…seems to be a necessary part of most conceptions of leadership” (Leithwood, 1999)

When you put Quantitative and Qualitative Data Together…
Eight Overall Findings1. Systems’ Thinking and Strategic Thinking
![Page 18: Leadership Study](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062514/558ddf021a28ab0a578b4681/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
What do you see?
![Page 19: Leadership Study](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062514/558ddf021a28ab0a578b4681/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
#1 is Systems Thinking
Systems Thinking is …
“a way of helping a person to view systems from a broad perspective that includes seeing overall structures, patterns and cycles in systems, rather than seeing only specific events in the system. This broad view can help you to quickly identify the real causes of issues in organizations and know just where to work to address them” (McNamara, 2008)
![Page 20: Leadership Study](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062514/558ddf021a28ab0a578b4681/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
#1 is Systems Thinking -- Business
Jesse Stoner in her extensive study on the impact of vision on organizational performance.
Leaders who demonstrated strong visionary leadership had the highest performing teams.
Those with good management skills but limited vision had average teams.
Those without vision and weak in management had poor teams.
![Page 21: Leadership Study](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062514/558ddf021a28ab0a578b4681/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
#1 is Systems Thinking
“The shared commitment to living the mission, vision, and value statements become
the moral purpose for the school.” (Fullan)
![Page 22: Leadership Study](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062514/558ddf021a28ab0a578b4681/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
#1 is Systems Thinking in Practice
Davies, Ellison and Browning write that school leaders must have the organizational ability to…
Be strategically oriented;Translate strategy into action;Align people and organizations;Determine effective strategic intervention
points;Develop strategic capabilities
![Page 23: Leadership Study](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062514/558ddf021a28ab0a578b4681/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Systems Thinking
Those leaders who fail to attend to the systems at play within an organization, and who fail to focus on the future vision of a
company, do so at their organization’s peril.
![Page 24: Leadership Study](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062514/558ddf021a28ab0a578b4681/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Eight Overall Study Findings…
Quantitative and Qualitative Findings Combined
1. Systems’ Thinking and Strategic Thinking2. Ethics and Trustworthiness
![Page 25: Leadership Study](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062514/558ddf021a28ab0a578b4681/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
![Page 26: Leadership Study](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062514/558ddf021a28ab0a578b4681/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
#2 Ethics and Trust
“There is no moral precept that does not have something inconvenient about it”
Denis Diderot
Day, Harris and Hadfield (2001) studied twelve schools in England and Wales and found that the leader’s own ethics and values played a substantial and significant role in the overall ethical orientation of the school:
“Good leaders are informed by and communicate clear
sets of personal and educational values which represent their moral purposes for the school”
![Page 27: Leadership Study](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062514/558ddf021a28ab0a578b4681/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Eight Overall Study Findings…
Quantitative and Qualitative Findings Combined
1. Systems’ Thinking and Strategic Thinking2. Ethics and Trustworthiness3. Communication
![Page 28: Leadership Study](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062514/558ddf021a28ab0a578b4681/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
#3 is Effective Communication
“Transforming leaders clarify and illustrate the vision, values, and beliefs by using metaphors, analogies, stories, ceremonies, celebrations, rituals and traditions” (Pielstick, p.
20). It is through these relationships and the communication within these relationships, that conversation becomes a conduit for building the transformative capacity of both individuals within the organization and the organization itself.
![Page 29: Leadership Study](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062514/558ddf021a28ab0a578b4681/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
#3 is Communication
“The alternative to effective communication models can result in schools where, comparatively few teachers were able to speak with any confidence about the elements of the vision. This would suggest that… the headteachers of these schools had not consciously and deliberately set out to communicate their vision to colleagues and to ensure that its influence permeated every aspect of organisational life.” (Bolam et al 1993).

managing emotions well in yourself and in your relationships.
![Page 33: Leadership Study](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062514/558ddf021a28ab0a578b4681/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

Goleman and Kee (1996)
(1) Self Awareness (2) Self Management(3) Social Awareness(4) Relationship Management.
![Page 36: Leadership Study](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062514/558ddf021a28ab0a578b4681/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

Transformative vs. Charismatic
Charismatic is an adjective that describes the attributes of a singular person.
Transformative is a verb that has no particular attachment to an individual, but is
an action word that can be applied to individuals, groups, organizations
Smile Factor or Action
![Page 40: Leadership Study](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062514/558ddf021a28ab0a578b4681/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
#5 is Transformative Leader
“We judge leaders not only by the
effectiveness of their actions, but also by the meanings they create and teach.”
Nye, J. (2009)
![Page 41: Leadership Study](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062514/558ddf021a28ab0a578b4681/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Transformative to Distributed Leadership
Do we wait for a prophet, religious or charismatic, to appear on high? The related theory and research of the past fifty years, and best practice of the 1990’s indicates
otherwise, for it plainly tells us that no single person alone has the combined capacity to do
the job. (Telford, 1996)
![Page 42: Leadership Study](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062514/558ddf021a28ab0a578b4681/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
#6 is Distributed Leadership
“Leaders will need to effectively involve others and elicit participation because tasks will be too complex and information too widely distributed for leaders to solve problems on their own” (Schien)
Sergiovanni makes the same point more forcefully for the world of education by suggesting it will require a collective of empowered interest to be successful.
![Page 43: Leadership Study](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062514/558ddf021a28ab0a578b4681/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
#6 is Distributed Leadership
“The notion of leadership density, where teachers (and others) become empowered to take on the role of leaders, and jointly undertake the institutionalization of the school’s vision, is fundamental to the notion of collaboration”(Telford)
How “dense” and empowered is your school environment?
![Page 44: Leadership Study](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062514/558ddf021a28ab0a578b4681/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Distributed Leadership and Healthy Debate
Collins (2001), indicates that the most successful companies involved teams where vigorous debate was encouraged as part of the decision-making, but once the process was decided, unwavering commitment was
enforced.
![Page 45: Leadership Study](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062514/558ddf021a28ab0a578b4681/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Transformative and Distributed Leadership
Robert Starratt has gone so far as to develop a model of leadership known as the
communal institutionalizing of vision. Starratt contends, “if schools are to be successful,
leadership must be transforming, translating vision into the daily operation of educational activities through shared processes”. (1988)
![Page 46: Leadership Study](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062514/558ddf021a28ab0a578b4681/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)

#7 Intelligence
Surprise that is not nearer the top of the list?Not one mention of advanced degrees in
qualitative responsesDoes not require the all knowing leader, but
engages the collective intellectual capacity of all the “who” within an organization
First Who, Then What…
![Page 48: Leadership Study](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062514/558ddf021a28ab0a578b4681/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)

#8 Finances, Governance, Advancement not as important?
Much feared development of a CEO model….X
Advancement and Governance questions ranked #18, 24, 25, 27 out of 32 in the quantitative results
Few people commented on this as a priority in the qualitative
Research participants clearly felt that the financial side of a school, can be delegated to an effective business manager and sub-committee of the Board of Governors.

Eight Findings Come Together
“This power cannot be predicted by assessing the strength of individual forces or by
summing their combined power. It is the simultaneity of their convergence, that they
all come together in the moment, that creates their power” (Wheately and Frieze)
![Page 52: Leadership Study](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062514/558ddf021a28ab0a578b4681/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Eight Findings Come Together
“Someone who has a clear vision for the school, leads the Board to support it through an organic, inclusive process, inspires others to understand the vision's meaning and significance, and communicates it with all constituents of the school community. The Head needs to exercise excellent judgement and act in the best interest of the school's future. He or she must be determined and committed to the school and have a passion for the future of society and the betterment of the world through an unwavering belief in the possibility of youth” (H1#24).
