In the authors' work studying and supporting school and district leaders, they identified the following five principles for leading in turbulent times. These principles enhance the odds that change management is successful and sustainable. For any change process, a trustworthy map is essential. Successful leaders center people and attune themselves to the social and emotional needs of others in these contexts. Creating an atmosphere where diverse perspectives are not just welcome but are intentionally invited fosters trust and increases awareness of potential complications involved in any change initiative. Too much change is overwhelming. Effective leaders embrace change, but they also create safe harbors for themselves and others. Change requires focus, energy, time, and effort, but leading change is not sustainable unless school leaders invest in themselves.
