8. What is Leadership ?

9. Leadership is a generic concept that projects visions of strength, authority, competence, action and power. Manager ? Visionary ? Facilitator ? Functionary ? Controller ? Performer ? Motivator ? İnspiration ? even fool ? In short, it is not a concept with fixed meanings (Warren, 1998)

10. Distributed Leadership?

11. Distributed Leadership
If you want to choose a single word to describe the «Distributed Leadership», what would you say?
Please write that word and explain your reasons (Excercise 2, Video 2, Video 3).

12. It is a kind of vogue. It has become increasingly used in the discourse about school leadership in the last few years and is currently receiving much attention and growing empirical support (Gronn, 2000; Harris, 2002; Hopkins and Jackson, 2002; Spillane et al., 2001).

13. In contrast to traditional notions of leadership premised upon an individual managing hierarchical systems and structures, distributed leadership is characterized as a form of collective leadership in which teachers develop expertise by working together.

14. This distributed view of leadership, it has been suggested, offers a frame for studying leadership practice including ‘every person at entry level who in one way or another, acts as a leader’ (Goleman, 2002: 14).

15. As Elmore (2000: 14) points out, in a ‘knowledge-intensive enterprise like teaching and learning there is no way to perform these complex tasks without widely distributing the responsibility for leadership among roles in the organization’.

16. Distributed leadership, therefore, means multiple sources of guidance and direction, following the contours of expertise in an organization, made coherent through a common culture. It is the ‘glue of a common task or goal—improvement of instruction—and a common frame of values for how to approach that task’ (Elmore, 2000: 15).

17. This is not to suggest that ultimately there is no one responsible for the overall performance of the organization or to render those in formal leadership roles redundant. Rather the job of those in formal leadership positions is primarily to hold the pieces of the organization together in a productive relationship. Their central task is to create a common culture of expectations around the use of individual skills and abilities.

18. Distributed leadership equates with maximizing the human capacity within the organization.
