Why Change Doesn't Happen and How To Make Sure It Does.
Schwann, Charles; Spady, William
Educational Leadership, v55 n7 p45-47 Apr 1998
Only when the organizational structure and staff are aligned with the school vision can productive and exciting change happen. Change is thwarted when the school vision is uninspiring, developed incorrectly, not used immediately, or misaligned with staff or organization. Values, missions, outcomes, and visions have a short shelf-life; they must immediately inform all significant decisions and actions. (MLH)
