From distributed to hybrid leadership: The changing leadership view in educational organizations

When educational organizations are considered, it is very difficult for a person to control leadership tasks and routines such as evaluation of students and teachers, structuring course programs, measuring and evaluating, school safety, student relations, discipline and continuity in schools. Therefore, it is suitable for all school members to carry out these tasks and routines together by division of labour. Teachers are actually carried out leadership routines by departments, teams or boards with cooperation and expertise. It is also the fact that the entire authority of the school is on a single and officially appointed leader who demonstrates final decisions. In that sense, schools need modern leadership forms and it is necessary to consider an alternative focusing on a shift from great man leadership to team leadership. In this review study, distributed and hybrid leadership approaches which are mostly discussed in recent years have been examined in the context of educational organizations. The patterns of distributed leadership and the hybrid form of leadership are addressed in the study and conclusions are provided by considering the related literature
