Leadership as a process of inquiry:
> is collaborative in that leaders work together in teams in which
information is shared, and knowledge and understanding are
mutually agreed;
> seeks to uncover information and not rely on known facts or past
experience;
> questions assumptions, beliefs, and values;
> seeks evidence of what works and what does not; and
> is experience-based – it is about asking questions, carrying out
inquiries, gathering information and making shared decisions; it is
based on hypothesising, creating scenarios, practical actions, and
testing solutions.
Inquiry is not so much about seeking the right
answer, because often that does not exist. Rather,
it is about seeking the best possible answers to
questions, about how to improve student learning
and lives.
