AB  - During recentdecades, the notion of team leadership has emerged as a central theme in theinternational discourse on systemic education reform. This issue of Research in Educational Administration andLeadership not only captures a collective sense of commitment to educationas means for advancing national social, economic, and political wellbeing butalso reflects a changing nature of leadership across a wide spectrum ofeducational organizations and contexts. Given the increasing complexity of 21stcentury education, effective leaders at all levels tend to rely less onbureaucratic, hierarchical structures and more on relational approaches toaccomplish tasks. In this regard, teamwork has become an indispensablecharacteristic of organizational life, and depending on the task, teams mayinvolve a wide array of stakeholders (e.g., superintendents, school boardmembers, district support staff, principals, teachers, parents, students) or aselect few representing specific constituencies to address specific issues.
