Leadership Succession in Adventist Schools – A Partnership

Thursday, March 21, 2019

Dr Peter Williams recently had the opportunity to present some of the findings from his Faith-based School Leadership Succession research to Adventist Schools Australia (ASA) NSW School Principals and Administrators (to view the PowerPoints click here). The findings presented centred around the leadership aspirations levels of ASA employees, as well as the factors influencing the willingness and unwillingness of ASA employees to apply for school leadership positions. Peter’s presentation concluded with a number of practical implications for these school principals that could assist leadership development at the local school level. This presentation was very well received, and further discussions have led to an active partnership being entered based around researching and strengthening the leadership supply pool within the Adventist education sector.
