Leadership Skill Requirements across Organizational Levels of K-12 Public Education in New York State: A Replication and Generalization of the Leadership Skills STRATAPLEX
2016
Overview
With a history that began with the dawn of civilization, leadership has been one of the most elusive and longest studied phenomena. Despite its long history, disagreement in the field persists over how best to define, measure, and develop it. Effective leadership has always been sought after and extremely valuable. Harvard’s Center for Public Leadership reports that the United States of America is experiencing a crisis in leadership, with this crisis felt most strongly in the realm of public leadership (Rosenthal, 2012). Educational leaders are not only public leaders but also are responsible for maintaining high standards and providing strong outcomes for our nation’s children. Waves of reform movements and ever-increasing levels of cynicism often complicate their vital work. Identifying and understanding how to develop the leadership skills required by educational leaders has never been more important. This study’s purpose was to understand more completely the leadership skills required by leaders of New York’s K-12 public schools. Through the application of the Leadership Skills STRATAPLEX model, this researcher sought to determine the degree to which this skills-based framework could be generalized to New York’s public school leaders across multiple organizational levels. This research question was addressed by conducting a theoretical replication and extension of Mumford, Campion, & Morgeson’s 2007 study. This study made use of a quantitative research design and survey data collected from 1027 educational leaders in New York State. This study’s major findings suggests that the Leadership Skills STRATAPLEX model failed to fully generalize to this new population and setting. However, the results also led this researcher to suggest a more sophisticated reconceptualization of the STRATAPLEX model that proposes a new moderating construct, the leader’s “sphere of direct influence relative to the whole organization”. This researcher’s findings and the reconceptualized Leadership Skills STRATAPLEX model have the potential to influence the ways institutions train and develop leaders while advancing the field of leadership skills-based theory.
