This chapter distinguishes between a shared hierarchical leadership, where a leader formulates goals, identifies training materials, authorizes funds and then all participate in a shared culture, vs. a fully shared co-leadership, where all educational stakeholders co-lead by initiating innovation and sharing development. This chapter advocates fully shared co-leadership. The key contribution of this chapter is the identification of four key attributes of higher cognitive pedagogy: executive function, attribution theory, goal-setting, and self-efficacy. These four attributes can easily be mastered by all educational stakeholders: mentors, principals, instructors, tutors, and students. Consequently, this chapter advocates the initiation of educational innovation in pedagogic delivery by instructors. The chapter illustrates its approach with a diverse set of subjects ranging from mathematics to essay writing. A typical application presented in this chapter illustrates spontaneous leadership at the university level followed by a more structured collaboration with K-12 institutions.
