About This Title

"Our schools need leadership that can uncover the liberating opportunities concealed within daunting challenges—this is the defining ability of American genius. This is the 'generative leadership' we come to understand so clearly in this powerful and concise volume."
—From the Foreword by Senator John H. Glenn

"A succinct and elegant synthesis of compelling ideas central to effective education and reform. The developmental path spelled out for leaders is both clear and profound."
—Geoffrey and Renate Nummela Caine, Executive Secretary and Director of Research
The Natural Learning Research Institute

A new concept of leadership for today's educational needs!

Linking brain science and educational research, generative leadership is an innovative approach that taps into an organization's collective intelligence to spur purposeful action and produce effective solutions.

This accessible resource 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
  • Leading their organizations toward a desired future

Generative Leadership offers school and district administrators a powerful new understanding of the dynamic organizations they lead, as well as the means to unleash the talent and creative resources within their educational community.
