“…Research indicates that these leaders have specific characteristics, and competencies demonstrated through their leadership practices within complex educational environments (Joiner and Josephs, 2007). Agile characteristics are organisational leadership characteristics that leaders and followers engage in together and include collaboration, self-awareness, proficiency, flexibility, an ability to change and quick thinking and action (Akkaya and Yazici, 2020). These protean characteristics represent the cognitive agility of leaders demonstrated through their ability to remain versatile, flexible and adaptable (Johnson and Kruse, 2019).…”

PurposeDuring the COVID-19 crisis in Victoria, Australia the complexity of school leadership increased greatly for school principals. This study focused on the lived experiences of early career principals in the independent school sector from March to November 2020 in Victoria, Australia. It investigates transformative work that was undertaken by these leaders in leading their schools over a protracted crisis.Design/methodology/approachThe study builds on constructs of crisis leadership, adaptive leadership, agile leadership and emotional intelligence, exploring the leadership approaches undertaken by twenty-two early career principals in Victoria, Australia. Using a narrative inquiry approach, across three temporal points in 2020, storied productions drawn from the findings present four emergent types of emotionally intelligent leadership approaches undertaken by these principals. These leadership approaches are presented as the commander-leader, the conductor-leader, the gardener-leader and the engineer-leader with each approach demonstrating both organisational leadership approaches as well as individual leadership styles used by these principals as they led their schools.FindingsThe findings have direct implications for professional development programs focusing on aspiring principals and early career principals with emphasis on the importance of developing emotionally intelligent skillsets in principals for use during periods of rapid change or high crisis in schools. The findings present insight into the support useful for early career principals in the first five years of principalship.Originality/valueThis study uses a unique emotional intelligence approach to understand school leadership during and after a crisis.

In the research, it was tried to determine the mediating role of management innovation in the effect of agile leadership on firm performance. The data were obtained online from authorized employees of a corporate company in January 2022. Questionnaire method was used in the research and questionnaires were distributed to 116 employees, but 103 questionnaires were replied. Pearson Correlation and Regression Analyzes were used to test the research hypotheses. In addition, Frequency Analysis was used to examine the distributions according to demographic variables. As a result of the research, it has been determined that agile leadership has a statistically significant effect on firm performance and management innovation, and the effect of management innovation on firm performance is statistically significant. The argument that management innovation has a mediating role in the effect of agile leadership, accepted as the main hypothesis of the research, on firm performance has not been statistically proven.

The aim of this research is to evaluate the effect of biomimicry approach on the learning-teaching process, based on the results of the studies on teaching practices on the biomimicry approach. The research was carried out by systematic review method. Depending on this method, the review protocol of scientific studies, which consists of four stages: planning, research, selection and synthesis, was employed. Within the scope of the research, the studies indexed in the Web of Science (WOS) database were searched with the keywords "biomimicry", "biomimicry in education", and then the relevant studies were selected by scanning TRDizin, Wiley, Scopus databases. Additionally, the relevant postgraduate studies were scanned through the National Dissertation Center and ProQuest databases and were included in the review. Within the scope of research themes, all the related studies in the fields of Educational Sciences, Social Sciences, Education, Psychology and Sociology were included in the review. During the selection phase, the contents were evaluated and the studies suitable for the research purpose were determined in line with the elimination criteria. In the synthesis phase, the selected studies were evaluated in terms of their theoretical basis, aims, methods, findings, and limitations. The total number of studies included in the systematic review was determined as 16. The results of the study provide a perspective on the current status of the biomimicry approach in the field of social sciences, how it is conceptually defined, and the effects of this approach on responding to needs in the field of education and learning characteristics.
