  • take care of our lower needs before self-actualization comes to the forefront.
    • Brendan Murphy
       
      It would seem necessary to fulfill the lesser needs first but some man great people didn't that we wonder.

      Everything is connected, but you don't see that until you are woken from your slumber and can see the world for what it truely is.

      Kind of like seeing the big picture. or systems thinking.

  • commitment to serving
    • Brendan Murphy
       
      When you make the commitment you start building trust, when you have trust then the constitutents start to take on their own leadership role, not because you asked them, but because they want to for the good of the organization.

      Listening to people has been a theme from GARdner

    • Brendan Murphy
       
      The theme of all the leadership so far has been you do not get your authority from fiat, but rather you earn it or it is given to you by those you lead.
  • high trust level among employees gives an organization an agility
    • Brendan Murphy
       
      Schools definately need the agility to change with the students needs.

LEADERSHIP FOR THE 21st CENTURY: BREAKING THE BONDS OF DEPENDENCY - 1 views

  • there is no external answer that will substitute for the complex work of changing one's own situation.
  • It is one thing to say in most successful organizations members share a clear, common vision, which is true, but quite another to suggest that this stems primarily from direct vision-building, which is not. Vision-building is the result of a whole range of activities (pp. 208-209).
    • Brendan Murphy
       
      So the vision doesn't create a sense of team rather when you build a team a vision is created.
  • critical consumers

  • 1.Respect those you want to silence. 2.Move toward the danger in forming new alliances. 3.Manage emotionally as well as rationally. 4.Fight for lost causes.
    • Brendan Murphy
       
      Are these the four guidelines they were talking about in the introduction paragraph?
    • Brendan Murphy
       
      1. I think a strong leader is not afraid to listen to those who disagree with them. I think the strongest leader listens carefully and includes the best ideas. I don't think majority rule is always the best way to run things, I think going with what the group thinks is best but tempered by vocal minorities is the best way to run a group. It is certainly better than a dictatorship, even when the dictator is the smartest and most benevolant person in the room. 2. Akin to the first guideline forming alliances with people you want to stay away from is important. They will not work to sabotage your plans if they feel their feelings are being listened to and heard. People don't think they know everything, but they do think they should be heard. If a leader is one who is known for being able to work with new groups then I think new groups will be more willing to accept an offer or collaboration. 3. We cannot inspire people without a bit of passion. While some paths may seem like the most prudent financially, or whatever, in the end the only path that will work is the one that people support. Sometimes we have to be willing to break away from what we think is the best path in order to be successful on the most loved path. 4. Everyone loves an underdog. At least we do in this time and this place. Lost causes in education are usually the causes that will bring about the most dramatic change. I think most people see schools as getting the short end of the stick in most political arenas, thus we are one big lost cause.
  • create opportunities for learning from dissonance
  • high priority on reculturing

      Hiring and or converting existing staff to work towards a common goal
