🎤4🎤 Distributive Leadership "Fake Power"

I am a huge fan of the ABC television show Gray's anatomy. This show is all about a group of young residents who are going through the surgery program at Seattle Grace Mercy West hospital.

At the very top of the surgery chain is the chief underneath the chief are the attendants followed by the experienced residence and then at the very bottom are the interns.

Interns are sort of like first-year teachers the amount of responsibility and leadership opportunities they have a very limited they have to continue to grow before they can receive leadership positions.

Eventually as the intern grows he will become a resident and it one day and attending at which point his responsibilities grow. This is how I visualize distributive leadership.
As your experience grows for many intangible resident the chief begins to give you what distribute some of his responsibility however he does not do it unless you have armed it a.k.a. the reward.

In the operating room the chief in the beginning does the surgery all by himself and allows you to watch as your experience grows as your knowledge grows he rewards you for doing a good job by distributing some of the task in the surgery.

This is how I see good distributive leadership it is not the administration or the principal assigning you to be a department head or making you sit on a meaningless committee, it's literally him or her taking bits and pieces of his role and allowing other people to do it.
