The Final 2%: What It Takes to Create Profound Change in Leaders
Sparks, Dennis
Journal of Staff Development, v26 n2 p8-15 Spr 2005
Profound change in school begins with profound change in leaders that radiates to others and into the system. Profound change requires more than structural change--it requires changing the brains of teachers and administrators. Creating such change requires that leaders think, speak, and act differently on a daily basis, clarifying their ideas and values in important areas and communicating them clearly.
