In a time when educators are questioning whether they have the energy to embark on a leadership journey, a different way of thinking about leadership is needed. Shared leadership demonstrates a shift in thinking. Shared leadership leads schools and divisions to function with multiple leaders by accessing, at differing times, individual strengths and talents. Although definite barriers to this model exist, a level of synergy can be experienced when shared leadership is successfully implemented. By investigating this new approach, we may improve our ability to attract educational leaders.
