Participatory communication and shared leadership
Greco, S., Morini, E., Nencioni, P., Turchi, A.
With school autonomy and the consequent social reporting, schools are increasingly called upon to account for their activities in a transparent manner. It is therefore essential that schools, as a complex organisation, work in synergy, according to a shared vision, with all the actors involved in the educational process. In this process, the head teacher has a leading role and must encourage the exchange and promotion of communication and cooperation skills, combining coordination and support for his or her teachers and also playing a linking role with the outside world and with other schools in the area.
