The Study of Relationship between Distributed Leadership and Principals’ Self-Efficacy in High Schools of Iran

“…School administrators, teachers, students, parents, and other communities can all be the leaders. (Bennett, Wise, Woods & Harvey, 2003) Institutionalization: Distributed leadership includes all forms of collaboration and participation within the school. It is integrated into the school culture and daily routines.…”

“…(Gronn, 2002) Fluidity: The boundaries between the leader and followers are blurred. Leadership does not reside in formal positions or specific roles, but emerges from the practice (Spillane, 2006;Bennett, et. al., 2003).…”

Distributed Leadership in a Low-Carbon City Agenda

“…Most advocates agree that distributed leadership is not the anti-thesis of top-down, hierarchical leadership (e.g., [52,[58][59][60]) but essentially involves the vertical and lateral dimensions of leadership practice, encompasses both formal and the informal forms. Bennett et al [58] noted that conceptions of distributed leadership often signal the openness of boundaries and describe its ability to encourage the development of networks rather than relying on traditional hierarchically structured decision-making and communication concept.…”

We believe that distributed leadership warrants consideration as a conceptual framework for leadership of intra-and inter-organizational functions such as community engagement.…”
