Leadership and Sustainability: System Thinkers in Action Book

Work book. Fullan is a leading researcher and synthesizer of educational research but not a prose stylist of any kind. Interesting and useful book but slow going despite its thinness. Eight elements are identified for ensuring sustainability in organization and results: 1) serving with a moral purpose; 2) changing context at all levels; 3) lateral capacity building through networks; 4) intelligent accountability and vertical relationships; 5) deep learning; 6) dual commitment to short and long term results; 7) cyclical energizing; 8) long lever of leadership. Some jargon, some common sense, and good systemic thinking.
