Flywheel by Eileen T Allison-Napolitano
Even highly effective leaders can succumb to the change-killing forces of the status quo. Flywheel is a transformational leadership coaching approach that places the focus of control firmly in the hands of the person being coached, not the person doing the coaching.
"DrElle Allison has once again brought her knowledge, passion, and energy to the coaching world to give us another layer that builds on her previous highly successful works. In a world of ever mounting educational challenges, Dr. Allison’s work brings refreshing clarity in understanding transformational leadership coaching. Our school district continues to be totally committed to a coaching model and Dr. Allison provided the direction that started our journey. Her guidance showed us the possibilities of what coaching could do to create systemic, long-term, and sustainable change. And there was no looking back! Leadership coaching fully supports our district’s vision, structures meaningful work, brings energy to the work, and builds capacity in our administrative teams, lead teachers, and classroom teachers. Transformational coaching is the most compelling model in the coaching literature and will sustain the meaningful change needed to improve instruction and provide world-class educational opportunities for students. Thank you, Dr. Allison." -- Debbie Lee, , Executive Director of K-12 Curriculum and Instruction
