The New Superintendency Supports an Innovation: Collaborative Decision Making.

Brunner, C. Cryss

Contemporary Education, v69 n2 p79-82 Win 1998

Investigated how school superintendents defined and used power. Interviews with 47 superintendents nationwide and two other people from each school district indicated that the more strictly superintendents' definitions adhered to power as coming from or with others (rather than power over others), the more capable they were as collaborative decision makers.
