Part A: Developing a Distributed Leadership Model - Secton 4: Outcomes and Critical Sucess Factors
The P.A.C.E.D Distributed Leadership Model has five key leadership
characteristics:
I. Participative leadership
II.
III.
IV.
Accredited leadership
Collaborative leadership
Engaged leadership
V. Devolved
Participative Leadership
The Participative leadership element requires all stakeholders (academics,
formal leaders, service providers and students) in improving student feedback
to be included in two-way communication and joint consultative processes.
Accredited Leadership
The Accredited leadership element requires staff and students who are leaders
in the improvement of student feedback to be recognised (through awards and
certificates), rewarded (through promotion) and provided with development
opportunities (through leadership professional development and other
training opportunities).
Collaborative Leadership
The Collaborative leadership element requires the establishment of opportunities
for formal leadership strategy, practices and policy (Top-down) to be designed
for implementation that suits different disciplines, contexts and circumstances
(Bottom-Up) and to be supported by systematic service provision and
infrastructure support (Middle-out).
Engaged Leadership
The Engaged leadership element requires a systematic approach to networking
that enables all leaders in pedagogy (formal leaders and recognised experts
in learning and teaching delivery to transfer lessons learnt for learning and
teaching experience and innovations to be shared so that they can be
transferred through their adaptation to different environments.
Devolved Leadership
The Devolved leadership element underpins all other elements through
a commitment across the university to develop systems, infrastructure and
formal leadership action that is congruent such that shared understanding
is achieved.
