本次学术报告将介绍目前教育领导力研究领域的一些发展趋势与学术讨论。演讲者的基本论点是:领导者的确能对教育组织产生积极影响;而且领导者发挥领导力的脉络情境非常重要,因为它不仅影响了领导者的所思所为,而且很多重要的行动又反映了这些脉络。
演讲者首先介绍教育领导力研究的主要趋势,提出目前学术界越来越关注教育领导者所处的社会、物质、政治、文化及个人情境等多种脉络对领导力的实践的影响。其次,借用最近一份名为GLOBE的全球跨地区的教育领导力研究的结果,分析教育领导力在不同社会脉络中的不同理解与解读。然后,分析在全世界范围内共通的有效教育领导力的实践特点,侧重分析这些特点是如何因应不同情境脉络而有所变化的。之后,尝试将上述领导力的理论应用于高等教育领域,探讨大学各学院、学系与中心的领导如何提高其单位的组织效能。最后,提出未来教育组织中领导力研究的一系列的假设与问题。

Enacting Leadership: Same Direction, Different Routes
Speaker: Prof. Allan Walker
This talk attempts to introduce a number of current trends in leadership thought. The general argument is that leaders do make a difference in educational organisations; context matters in that it influences how leaders think and act and that worthwhile action reflects these contexts. The talk has a number of sections. The first section outlines a number of trends, including increased consideration of how multiple contexts influence leadership practice. These contexts can relate to the social, physical, political, cultural or personal situations within which leaders lead. The second section targets how leadership is perceived in different societies. This is illustrated briefly through outlining the recent GLOBE Study. The third section focuses on a set of important effective leadership process common across the world but makes the point that how these are enacted differs according to the context within which leaders lead. Fourth, the talk attempts to apply leadership to higher education contexts. More specifically, what leaders of faculties, centres or departments can do to improve their unit’s effectiveness? The talk concludes with a number of propositions/questions to further guide discussion of leadership in educational organisation.
