What is collaborative leadership?
• “Collaborative leadership embraces a process in which individual leaders from different organisations come together for a shared purpose and work collaboratively to deliver the very best learning opportunities and outcomes for young people.”
(CEL/NCSL Steering Group: 2007)
• “Collaborative leadership is leadership shown by a group that is acting collaboratively to solve agreed upon issues. It uses supportive and inclusive methods to ensure that all people affected by a decision are part of the change process. It requires a new notion of power…the more power we share, the more power we have to use.”
(From NCSL VLE)
• “Building the capacity of the whole system, making it possible for others to invest their leadership, creating the space for the discovery of new solutions, being willing to let go of tenaciously held short term goals in the interests of the whole- all these will be important in developing good leadership systems. “
(Goss: 2007)
