Lewin's theory shows that there are two forces in a change: the driving forces and the restraining forces. Leaders seek equilibrium between these two forces to make sure the organization can develop smoothly. #gse571

Habit plays an important role in influencing people's attitude towards change. They have used to all the things around them and are afraid the unknown future bring by changes. So school leaders can motivate and encourage their fellows by share their vision with them. #gse571

Change is divided into continuous change and discontinuous change. The first one occurs without disruption to the system (Conley,1997) but the latter one disrupts the equilibrium of the system. So it requires individual to perform differently when facing different changes.#gse571

Change makes conflict while conflict makes the change. Good leaders should know how to deal with both conflict and change. Including the fellow is a good method to cope with those problems. They fully engage in the decision-making process and get better understanding. #gse571

[Juan TAO @sylviattle]

To deal with the changes, the school leader should know what they want and what the school wants. Then they can work for it. An important thing during that is collecting data. they should realize their target carefully to make sure they are doing the correct things. #gse571

Everything changes every day. Qualified leaders face changes all the times. They change themselves to adapt to the changing world. On the other hand, they are changing the context. So, which one is more difficult? #gse571

According to Green, change is a process, not an event. So changes cannot be finished in a short time. It is full of negotiation and conflict and requires the leaders' social skills to cope with it. #gse571

Instructional leaders are good at communication. They can create a comfortable environment for their fellows. This skill also helps them to share their vision with others and encourages them to work for it. #gse571

Intrapersonal conflict is harder to deal with than the others. it is tough to make a decision when it refers to personal benefit. people have to think it carefully, but most of the time it is too careful to make a decision. #GSE571

[Juan TAO @sylviattle]

Choosing the proper method to deal with conflicts examine the leader's ability and emotional intelligence. All the methods mentioned by Green should be considered as a whole as the reality is complex and the relationship tangles. #GSE571

[Juan TAO @sylviattle]

Turning confliction into harmony requires the school leaders' high-level communication skill. It makes people feel valued. Another thing I think is important is the skill of hearing. Fully understanding without bias helps the leaders deal with conflicts. #gse571

[Juan TAO @sylviattle]

I always hear that people said the organization should be harmony, so confliction is always defined as bad for me. But after reading Greens's word, I began to consider its benefits. During the process of turning confliction into harmony, the organization improves. #gse571

[Juan TAO @sylviattle]

Conflict is everywhere. it generates when people have different values, opinions, and goals. It is the same in schools. So the school leaders' task is not to diminish them, but to reduce them because it can improve the organization. #gse571

Another model for decision-making. #gse571

At the end of a process, evaluation is required to examine if the problem is being adequately addressed. It also can be used to find the flaws of a decision. It makes sure that the decision is an ideal one and can achieve the wanted result. #gse571

[Juan TAO @sylviattle]

There is a procedure for decision-making. Following this model step by step, the leaders can make an ideal decision. Furthermore, this helps them to promote the professional norms required by PSEL 2B. #gse571

[Juan TAO @sylviattle]

Leaders can make the decision individually or involving others. they can consult others those things that they do not know or acquire information in order to make a high qualified decision. For me, I believe that the latter is easier to accept by their fellows. #gse571

[Juan TAO @sylviattle]

Green says in his book that "minimize the negative consequences and maximize the positive outcomes" (p.176). That is the standard for someone who needs to make a decision. That means that the decision maker should consider things carefully and comprehensively. #gse571

[Juan TAO @sylviattle]

Simplexity is another important element of a system. The system is composed of different elements which are cross-linked with each other. This complex relationship may cause various problems. The leader's task is to make it simple. #GSE571

[Juan TAO @sylviattle]

A common focus and purpose help to improve organization coherence. Then the positive organizational climate is helpful. That means this organization should have a culture which is in favor of it. In that condition, staff can learn how to work differently. #GSE571
