Learning the LeadershipThe lessons for developing leaders in a culture of change are more tortoise-like than hare-like because they involve slow learning in context over time. This chapter presents three powerful lessons about leadership that have implications for developing more of it. Fortunately, they are interrelated: the vital and paradoxical need for slow knowing, the importance of learning in context, and the need to have leaders at all levels of the organization in order to achieve widespread internal commitment.
(Fullan, p.185)

Individual initiative is required because we can’t wait for the system to get its act together. System action is necessary because it creates new contexts, expectations, and support for individuals to change their ways. Sustainability includes transforming the system in a way that the conditions and capacity for continuous improvement become built in within and across the levels of reform.
(Fullan, p. 202)

Turn and Talk
What are some obstacles when you are not being an attentive listener?

Listening
Ten minutes of our complete and focused attention is worth much more, in terms of maintaining a relationship and supporting learning, than thirty minutes with distractions.
(Lipton & Wellman, p. 35)
![Page 10: March Leadership Session MTL Meeting Pandora Bedford March, 2010 Astrid Fossum Laura Maly Cynthia Rodriguez The Milwaukee Mathematics Partnership (MMP)](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062720/56649f155503460f94c2a2fc/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Strategies for nonverbal communication: Facing people when you speak with them. Making eye contact. Avoid distracting gestures. Nodding your head in an encouraging
way. Finding an appropriate place for
communication. Paying attention to how close we sit with
others. Choosing an appropriate tone of voice for
the message we want to communicate. Touching or not touching others
appropriately depending on the situation.(Knight, p. 74)

Blocks to Understanding ‘I’ Listening
Personal Referencing: we consider what is being said with reference to own experiences and then judge worth.
Personal Curiosity: we want more information for ourselves.
Personal Certainty: we are sure we know the solution to the problem.

Listening Strategies
Developing inner silence. Listening for what contradicts our
assumptions. Clarifying. Communicating our understanding. Practicing every day. Practicing with terrible listeners.
(Knight, p. 64)

Listening as it connects to our work:
Chose a partner. Determine who will be the listener and who will be the speaker.
As one person shares their “Professional Practice” from the February meeting, the partner practices authentic listening.
Roles are reversed.

In triads,One person is the speaker, sharing homework from last monthOne person is the listener, when do your listening blocks come upOne person is the recorder, writing the big ideas that the speaker is sharing

Reflection:
As the listener and as the speaker:
What was this experience like?
Quietly jot down your thoughts in your notebook and be ready to share with your partner and the group.

Ultimately, your leadership in a culture of change will be judged as effective or ineffective not by who you are as a leader but by what leadership you produce in others.
(Fullan, p. 203)
