Challenge: integrating the educational context
Importance of framing leadership
“However, it would seem that, within education, a fifth model is needed, one which links leadership with the ethics of educational
endeavour. This fifth model, a transformation or moral model, would argue that the concept of leadership should be linked to a concept of the
ultimate purposes of the school.”
(Mike Bottery)
2. SYSTEMS LEADERSHIP ‘System leaders’ care about and work for the success of other schools as well as their own. They measure their
success in terms of improving student learning and increasing achievement, and strive to both raise the bar
and narrow the gap (s).
They are willing to shoulder system leadership roles in the belief that in order to change the larger system, you
have to engage with it in a meaningful way.
Professor Emeritus, David Hopkins, author of Every School A Great School
It involves:
• Developing and leading successful educational and organisational improvements
• Acting as a curriculum innovator who develops and sustains best practice across the school system
• Building capabilities as a change agent to lead transformative change within the complex and rapidly changing local and global contexts of the 21C learning environment

Mindset + Capabilities = Leadership Impact

Zohar & Marshall (2001)
The importance of EQ & SQ “Key components of emotional maturity are associated with managerial effectiveness and advancement. Some of these components include self-awareness, understanding one’s
strengths and weaknesses, and an orientation toward self-improvement.” (Avery, 2004, p. 97)
“… findings indicate that higher levels of ego development are associated with greater nurturance, trust, interpersonal
sensitivity, valuing of individuality, psychological-mindedness, responsibility, and inner control.” (Hausler,
1993, pp.27)
IQ is about cognitive expertise in the workplace.
EQ emerges during relationship transactions – supporting the development of empathy, rapport and trust.
SQ, in contrast, is making a meaningful contribution with compassion, integrity and supporting the collective efficacy of colleagues (Benefiel, 2005; Covey, 2004; Fry, 2003; Fry & Malone, 2003; Reave, 2005; Zohar & Marshall, 2000).
4. Organisational Effectiveness
Building cultures of innovation & impact
• Personal Efficacy: the values, beliefs and attitudes for personal best practice.
• Collective Efficacy: people working together to create organisational best practice.
“It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that
survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to
change.” (Charles Darwin)

The importance of agility
Combining the different lenses to build a more complete picture of the individual,
team, or organisation “We articulate a clear
vision of what we want
the company to
achieve”
+
“A vision can genuinely drive
behavior that contributes to
improved results ”
“Our company has a vision
that I find inspiring”
“Staff, parents and
students understand
the school’s vision”

Leadership Effectiveness & Self Awareness
Key elements of leadership effectiveness clustered around 3 organisational challenges
Source:McKinsey Organisation Practice
Alignment “Do the vast majority of people in the organisation understand and agree with where the company is going, how it will get there, and what it means for how they think and what they do?”
Execution “Is the organisation doing what it is supposed to in order to achieve the aligned direction? Is it doing it well and can it respond to challenges?”
Renewal “Is the organisation continuously finding new things (and new ways to do things) that create value?”
