  12. Collaborative Leadership • Leadership is a complex form of human activity that can be nurtured through appropriate learning opportunities. We view collaborative leadership as the involvement of two or more people in a group working toward a common vision or goal in a manner that reflects shared ownership, authorship, use, or responsibility. A successful collaboration takes place when participants with diverse experiences and expertise work together to solve a common problem or produce a common product. Successful collaborations are non-jurisdictional, relationship driven and sensitive to issues of inclusion and exclusion. We believe that the following core concepts are at the heart of collaborative leadership: • Collaborative leadership is the intentional and skillful management of relationships that enables others to succeed individually while accomplishing a collective outcome. • Collaborative leaders ably facilitate the involvement of two or more people in a group working toward a shared outcome in a manner that reflects collective ownership, authorship, use, or responsibility. • Collaboration is not the outcome or goal. Collaborations are processes that, when successful, align people’s actions to accomplish a goal or solve a problem. • Collaborative leaders possess knowledge, skills, and dispositions that enable them to carry out leaderful actions such as optimizing assets, seeking new solutions, sustaining focus, promoting trust, or setting and monitoring goals and progress. • Managing and sustaining collaborative relationships requires leaderful actions on the part of all participants including the following: • advocating for people, ideas and organizations in ways that are inclusive rather than exclusive • facilitating open group discussion, problem solving and decision-making • exercising sound judgment and political skills while working with multiple constituencies • promoting systemic and long term vs. symptomatic and short term change • seeking creative global as well as local actions and solutions • sustaining ideas, trust and collaborative focus while responding to changing circumstances • accepting responsibility at professional and personal levels • providing the means for partners to set incremental and obtainable goals and celebrations along the way • Collaborative leadership exists at varying levels and is exhibited in a variety of ways. Ultimately, though, collaborative leaders in education achieve some degree of expertise at all of the following levels: • Self-directedness • Classroom leadership • Peer leadership • School leadership • Community leadership • Global citizen leadership
