Collaboration between the school governing body (SGB) and the school management team (SMT) in underperforming schools remains the crest for successful action taken to turn around performance as envisaged in the South African Schools Act 84 of 1996 (Republic of South Africa, 1996). Their interaction is crucial in advancing the course of performance improvement. In the study reported on here a qualitative method and an interpretivist approach was used to explore how shared leadership collaboration practices between the SGB and SMT can improve performance. A case of 3 purposefully sampled underperforming schools in the Gauteng West district was undertaken. Interviews with 3 principals (individually) and 3 focus group interviews with parent SGB members, SMT members and teachers were conducted. Findings show that when developmental needs of SGBs are considered significant and stakeholders are mobilised towards collective effort (letsema), collaboration and interaction enable school performance. It is recommended that SGB development be contextualised to enable swift interaction with stakeholders; the essence of the SGB and SMT collaboration in providing leadership and dealing with issues impacting on performance should be highlighted, so that they can plan activities that bring about improved performance. Employing courageous conversations to achieve institutional goals should be through collaborative endeavours that are inspired by ubuntu leadership practice. Keywords: collaboration; common purpose; courageous communication; interaction; school leadership

两级学校领导在消除表现不佳方面的合作实践

学校管理机构 (SGB) 和学校管理团队 (SMT) 在表现不佳的学校之间的合作仍然是成功采取行动扭转 1996 年第 84 号南非学校法(南非共和国,1996 年)所设想的表现的顶峰. 他们的互动对于推进绩效改进过程至关重要。在此处报告的研究中,使用定性方法和解释主义方法来探索 SGB 和 SMT 之间共享的领导协作实践如何提高绩效。对豪登西区的 3 所表现不佳的学校进行了有目的地抽样调查。对 3 名校长(单独)进行了访谈,并对家长 SGB 成员、SMT 成员和教师进行了 3 次焦点小组访谈。调查结果表明,当 SGB 的发展需求被认为是重要的并且利益相关者被动员起来共同努力 (letsema) 时,协作和互动会促进学校表现。建议将 SGB 的发展置于情境中,以便与利益相关者进行快速互动;应强调 SGB 和 SMT 在提供领导和处理影响绩效的问题方面合作的本质,以便他们可以计划提高绩效的活动。应通过受 ubuntu 领导力实践启发的协作努力,采用勇敢的对话来实现机构目标。关键词:协作;共同的目标; 勇敢的沟通;相互作用; 学校领导 建议将 SGB 的发展置于情境中,以便与利益相关者进行快速互动;应强调 SGB 和 SMT 协作在提供领导和处理影响绩效的问题方面的本质,以便他们可以计划提高绩效的活动。应通过受 ubuntu 领导力实践启发的协作努力,通过勇敢的对话来实现机构目标。关键词:协作;共同的目标; 勇敢的沟通;相互作用; 学校领导 建议将 SGB 的发展置于情境中,以便与利益相关者进行快速互动;应强调 SGB 和 SMT 在提供领导和处理影响绩效的问题方面合作的本质,以便他们可以计划提高绩效的活动。应通过受 ubuntu 领导力实践启发的协作努力,通过勇敢的对话来实现机构目标。关键词:协作;共同的目标; 勇敢的沟通;相互作用; 学校领导 应通过受 ubuntu 领导力实践启发的协作努力,通过勇敢的对话来实现机构目标。关键词:协作;共同的目标; 勇敢的沟通;相互作用; 学校领导 应通过受 ubuntu 领导力实践启发的协作努力,通过勇敢的对话来实现机构目标。关键词:协作;共同的目标; 勇敢的沟通;相互作用; 学校领导
