We examine leadership through the lens of the 1989 film "Lean On Me," exploring how different organizational phases require different leadership styles and what makes a leader effective in each one.
• Different organizational phases (startup, turnaround, realignment, acceleration, sustaining success) require different leadership approaches
• Joe Clark's authoritarian style was necessary during crisis but needed evolution as the school improved
• Bold decisions are required in turnaround situations without time for consensus-building
• Leaders must discern when external forces are working to pull them off mission
• Sustaining success requires building culture and systems that outlast any single leader
• The importance of professional relationships that challenge and sharpen leadership
• Community should push you into your moment, not keep you comfortable
• Shared leadership becomes essential as organizations move from crisis to stability
• Leadership must evolve as the organization evolves
