Generativity? The first foundational element -- Living systems science? The second foundational element -- The brain-mind system? The third foundational element -- Generative leading & learning -- Putting ideas into action : methods & processes to develop generativity -- Catalysts for growth : tools & resources for the generative school leader
Examines the fundamental elements of generative leadership and provides tools and processes to catalyze organizational development and personal leadership growth. The authors identify four modalities of leadership : traditional, pragmatic, explorative, and generative--and outline six hallmarks that can develop an individual's generative capacity. Generative leaders view learning communities as complex, changing systems and are focused on: deepening their personal knowledge; engaging in personal reflection; promoting professional conversations; harnessing creativity and innovation; and leading their organizations toward a desired future.--From publisher description
