Community interest engaging into decision-making
There are many ways to lead a group, an organization, a movement, a school district, or even a government. History buffs can point to all kinds of leadership styles and practices that have worked—and even more that have fallen flat like the way Kole Intellectual Forum in Kole District is searching for possible ways acheivin quality, sustainable and potential among the majority of the children expose to harsgh education in the area.
Of course, in today’s connected and complex world, leadership styles of the past aren’t as effective, and may even be more harmful than helpful. To help employees, citizens, and stakeholders navigate faster and more nuanced environments, leaders must be able to work collaboratively and, in some cases, “lead from behind.”
Leading from behind is a form of active leadership that has been promoted by the organization (Kole Intellectual Forum) and as one of the simplest means that leaders don’t need to guide a team in a traditional top-down way, but rather to encourage employees to express ideas, make suggestions, and otherwise direct their work toward the goals they’re tasked to achieve. It’s collective leadership in its purest execution. With more voices expressing thoughts, the team can be more innovative. The leader can focus on optimization rather than ideation, allowing the best ideas to lead—rather than the “person in charge.” With this in place, the is possibility that the standard of education in Kole District is greatly expected to improve at no time.
