| Description: |
Based on findings of a Gates Foundation-funded professional development study, this handbook illustrates the significance of symbols and metaphors in understanding and facilitating organizational change. |
| Synopsis: |
Use the creative energy of metaphor to clarify and make your leadership vision a reality! How do you see yourself as an educator? How would you describe yourself as a leader? Have you ever considered using metaphors to reframe your leadership practice, vision, and mission? Often, leaders stumble when asked to articulate their values, ethics and purpose. This book illustrates the significance of leadership archetypes and metaphoric reframing in understanding and facilitating organizational change. Leadership, Myth, & Metaphor reports on the findings of a professional development study-funded by the Gates Foundation-of over 250 superintendents and principals, celebrating educators' unique individual core values while acknowledging their shared intrinsic beliefs, including:o A commitment to a cause beyond oneself o A devotion to an ethic of care o A desire to improve the condition of society o A wish to make a significant impression on student and adult lives o A conviction to inspire others to seek their full potentialo Awareness of yourself on a personal and professional level leads to a deeper consideration of your mission as a leader and your purpose in life. |
