Leaders in Succession: Rotation in International School Administration

by Patrick Lee

Overview

Planning leadership rotation is a strategy that many business organizations adopt. The reasons for implementing this strategy can be diverse. Their primary goal is to make positive change and improvement, leading to greater effectiveness and higher profitability. However, this strategy can have both positive and negative impacts to the organization depending on how the strategy is perceived and received by employees. The findings show that leadership rotation serves as an effective tool to improve schoolwork culture and outcomes, especially when supported by transformational leadership models. The research study shows that the rotation of leaders over a three- to five-year period did bring the school new ideas and creativity for school programs and activities. While the context of this study was a private international school in Hong Kong, the overall findings are considered applicable for business organizations of any type.
