"Below, I take up this question: What is distributed leadership? The short answer is that it depends; it depends on what one reads and with whom one talks. My intention is not to offer the "one best" definition of distributed leadership. Rather, I describe how I have come to understand distributed leadership, based on a five-year research project in elementary schools in Chicago...
The paper is organized like this: I begin with a brief overview of the distributed leadership perspective, introducing and defining key terms and ideas. The main section of the paper unpacks these ideas in three sub-sections -- leaders, followers, and situation. The final section takes up the uses and miss-uses of distributed leadership."
