In Systems Thinkers in Action Michael Fullan (2004) argued that:. . . a new kind of leadership is necessary to break through the status quo. Systematicforces, sometimes called inertia, have the upper hand in preventing system shifts.Therefore, it will take powerful, proactive forces to change the existing system (tochange context). This can be done directly and indirectly through systems thinkingin action. These new theoreticians are leaders who work intensely in their ownschools, or national agencies, and at the same time connect with and participate inthe bigger picture. To change organizations and systems will require leaders to getexperience in linking other parts of the system. These leaders in turn must helpdevelop other leaders within similar characteristics. (p. 7)These quotations share three implicit assumptions. The first is that if we are ever toachieve sustainable education change it must be led by those close to the school; thesecond is that this must have a systemic focus; and the third is that ‘SystemLeadership’ is an emerging practice.Texto Integral
