While the research he has studied applies generically to all organisations, Greg Morgan’s experience is specifically as Principal of Lilydale District School in Tasmania and is currently engaged in a hermeneutic inquiry as part of a PhD study on Leadership. His interest is in how people in an organisation work and learn together in pursuit of their personal and common aspirations. His work has explored the leverage provided by aligned vision, mental models and systemic structures for strengthening teachers’ practice and raising student learning outcomes. He believes that rather than being a style or set of behaviours or characteristics, effective leadership is essentially about influence in relationships. And, at a time when the world ‘out there’ is more enamoured than ever of quantitative data, he is keenly interested in how qualitative data and genuine dialogue can influence ‘performance’. When he’s not working or studying, a favourite indulgence is to wrangle with Southern Bluefin Tuna off the wild coast of Tasmania.
