FAQ

What is Distributed Leadership? 

Distributed leadership is a kind of leadership where every stakeholder of an 
educational institution collaboratively work and do leadership tasks for the 
achievement of common and specific goals.  In this form of leadership, each one's 
opinion towards certain matters is sought before any decision is being 
done. This form of leadership is democratic and delegated. 

In an organization where distributed leadership is employed, it is important to 
view distributed leadership not only as management or a leadership technique but 
more than that as an attitude. It simply means considering every individual of the 
organization as an important source of ideas. Through this kind of leadership, 
respect is seen and felt in every corner of the organization. It 
must be understood that distributed leadership is a call for responsibility from 
the members of the organization. This way, important leadership tasks can be 
achieved while working collaboratively. In this kind of leadership, everybody is 
expected not just to become part of the solution but to the prevention itself as 
well.
