Managing Adaptive Challenges

Abstract: We interviewed eight principals from Bermuda and Florida about how they identify and manage their most pressing challenges. Their challenges are composed of both adaptive and technical work, requiring leaders to learn to diagnose and manage them. Challenges focused on change and were traced to accountability contexts, yet accountability was not the driving force for all principals. Neither external demands nor principals themselves dictated whether the problem was technical or adaptive; instead, it was the nat… Show more

“…These questions suggest that we have little understanding of what Kelchtermans, Piot, and Ballet (2011) refer to as the leader's personal interpretative framework, or the manner in which a leader "perceives, gives meaning to, and acts in particular job situations" (p. 95). Similarly, as a field we are wanting for understanding about the specific developmental, or internal, capacity that leaders have to address contemporary educational challenges (Drago-Severson, Maslin-Ostrowski, Hoffman, & Barbaro, 2014). However, understanding of both the personal interpretative frameworks and developmental capacities hold promise to inform the literature about leadership, educational leaders, and the work of military veterans leading in today's P-12 schools.…”

“…Principals, especially those who are newly appointed, require training before they assume their positions, as well as clear formal and informal guidelines (Meyer and Patuawa, 2020;Sepuru and Mohlakwana, 2020;Slater et al, 2008). Creating a school culture that supports the learning and professional development of teachers and staff, as well as principals, can in turn enhance their willingness to go beyond the call of duty by building trust with educators, encouraging openness, and allowing them to take part in the decision-making process (Drago-Severson et al, 2014;Stynes and McNamara, 2019).…”

While organizational culture has been a research topic within the business world, the education world has been disinterested.…”
