Learning and Teaching Scotland|Success and Sustainability; By, With and Across Our Schools - KA Episode
Few of the efforts and effects of leadership succeed in being sustainable. Heroic or charismatic leaders can achieve short-term success, but it rarely survives beyond their departure. Micromanagers can lift performance, but this quickly fades once the leader is no longer breathing down people's necks. Like sustainable development, sustainable leadership is an imperative in today's educational and social world. There must be leadership that really can foster long term school improvement and ensure lasting success. The questions are – what does it look like and how can it be implemented in education? Drawing on long term studies of educational change over 30 years, and his co-authored book, Sustainable Leadership, Andy Hargreaves addresses what kinds and patterns of leadership make improvement sustainable in ways that matter, spread and last.
