The framework we use is the STAR Technique. Then I ask them to put themselves in that leader’s shoes and rewrite part of the story in terms of how they would have managed the situation. I encourage them to write down what they observed and learned in each example or incident or meeting wherever the examples of leadership show up, both the good and the bad. I encourage them to identify specific leaders to watch and learn from, and to do it actively and I share with them a specific framework to pull apart what they see. Instead they are to use the concept of active transport to learn from others about leadership.

It’s not to take notes throughout the program, they get a full workbook for that. In our programs everyone gets a Coaching Focus bent pen and a notebook for a specific purpose. I now work with staff in schools right across Australia and New Zealand providing quality leadership development. I began Coaching Focus in 2016, after leaving the role of Deputy Principal in one of Melbourne’s leading independent girls’ schools. So instead of volumes of fluid moving across the membrane to even up the concentrations, enzymes on the membrane wall attach to the particles and actively help the particles move across the membrane, hence the name ‘active transport’. This is the process whereby it supports the transport of the solute, or the particles floating in the liquid, to move across a semi-permeable membrane. Let me introduce you to another science concept, that of ‘active transport’. It is therefore not surprising, to me, that I have dedicated my business to helping leaders in schools be the leaders we need them to be, role models for their communities so that students, staff and parents can experience quality leadership and from there, craft better working relationships in collaborative communities.

In my career in school leadership, sadly, I came across only a few good leaders. Leadership development by osmosis takes too long and is so often inaccurate. If they are a poor leader, we still learn a lot about leadership, but this time in terms of what not to do and that is only if we can recognize it as what we shouldn’t be doing. If they are a good leader, we can learn a great deal about what makes strong leadership. We all have an idea of what we think is good leadership, but if we don’t have great role models around us, how would we really know? It just seeps in, both the good and the bad examples of leadership and they somehow become part of what we understand our leadership to be. Osmosis, defined in terms of leadership development, is the gradual process of unconscious assimilation of ideas and knowledge.

Most learn how to lead whether that leadership is good or bad, by observing others and working alongside or under other leaders. Some are fortunate to do some formal study. Many people learn about leadership from reading about it. This is not an article about science, but I can’t help but apply the concept of osmosis to leadership development.

It’s the same process that makes your fingers go wrinkly when you have been in water for too long the liquid in the skin cells of your fingers loses fluid to the surrounding water. It is a chemical process that uses differences in concentrations across a semi-permeable membrane to move liquid, or solvent, from the high concentration side to the low concentration side to even out the two sides. If science is not your thing let me explain what it is in simple terms. It is an important concept taught not only as part of the science syllabus but also finds its way into Biology and Chemistry too. As a Science teacher, I understand ‘osmosis’.
