Distributive leadership is the sharing of leadership between two or more individuals. This type of leadership has many names, such as shared, dispersed, relational, roving, collective, group-centered, broad-based, participatory, fluid, inclusive, and supportive leadership. In schools today, as the workload of administrators is constantly increasing, shared leadership is becoming widespread.
School administrators cannot be everywhere at one time, they have begun to implement this type of leadership. Some schools distribute the leadership power between two administrators, while other schools involve teachers and parents, creating a group where there is no central leader in charge. As a result, numerous aspects of the schools or educational systems are attended to more fully and improvement is significant.
At my school site the school distributes the leadership power among the three administrators, content specialist and the counselors. Everyone has his or her task to do to help make things run smoothly and it seems to work very well for this school.
