Fullan's Eight Elements For System Thinking In Action For Sustainability

Fullan then identifies these eight abstract elements that he believes are critical in defining the system thinker in action and in paving the way for large-scale, sustainable school system reform:
  1. Public service with a moral purpose
  2. Commitment to changing context at all levels
  3. Lateral capacity-building through networks
  4. Intelligent accountability and vertical relationships
  5. Deep learning
  6. Dual commitment to short-term and long term results
  7. Cyclical energizing
  8. The long lever of leadership
So what do these eight elements look like in action? The following web pages are explanations and examples from the field that you may find helpful as your school system's leadership team works to develop your own procedures for providing the guidance and role modeling needed to support and sustain systems thinking in your schools.
