We need resilient school leaders in the face of chaos and complexity

Abstract

Exploring the nonideal situations affecting today schools, I conceptualize a resilient leadership model with reference to the school system in the face of chaos and complexity. In general, the resilient leadership conceptualized in this preliminary study can be defined as displaying high level of endeavor to overcome both internal and external obstacles that the organization faces and generating different solutions despite the fact that many nonideal situations affect the organization. In conclusion, it seems to me that the resilient school leaders at least should be mentally, emotionally, socially, ethically, and physically strong humans who beat the odds.
