"An
Anthropogogical leader must be the change that he wishes to lead." (Nir
Golan 2014)
Any
change process needs a leader and a starting point. Leader needs to have 5 critical
bases:
· Vision
· Plan
· Proactively
· Courage
· Personal relationships
The
3 keys to sustainable change
1. Identifying the need/ problem
2. Developing implementation plan to
improve the organization culture
3. Anticipating future changes.
Before
moving ahead with change, Anthropogogical leader should possesses the
appropriate knowledge to guide the process.

1. Love your employees
2. Connect peers with purpose
3. Capacity building prevails
4. Learning is the work
5. Transparency rules
6. System learn
1. Love your people
Explore the
importance of building the school by focusing on the people: teachers and
staff, and the community. The key is enabling people to learn continuously while
giving them a certain amount of autonomy to take risks and be innovative. Using
the
significant learning model provides tools for the leader to assimilate
the Anthropogogy approach in six steps, throughout which the leader uses
dialogue in order to guide the learner.
Loving your people is about helping them all find meaning (step 5 in the model),
increase skill development, and personal satisfaction by making contributions
that simultaneously fulfill their own goals and the goals of the organization.
The best way to love your people in order to initiate sustainable change is to
trust and support them unconditionally. In today's reality, culture
is changing rapidly, so education has to be a lifelong process: where the leader
helps the people discover the unknown without repeating information about the
known.
2. Create your own
learning community
Purposeful
peer interaction in a learning community within and beyond the school is
crucial. People learning and achievement increase substantially when they work
in learning communities supported by Anthropogogical leaders who focus on
improvement. It is also essential to develop relatable goals and associated
outcomes with every change initiative. The "reason why" and the way
need to be active participants in the change process. Purposeful peer
interaction in a learning community allows people to have a voice in the
decision-making process and to craft how policies and mandates will be
implemented.
