The research is based on five case studies of MATs in the Whole Education Trust Leaders network and explores how they enact values-based leadership and use/have used organisational development to deliver a ‘whole education’ to their cohorts 2/5

The research highlights how trusts constantly have to address four “knotty issues”: sensemaking and leadership; structural integration; knowledge mobilisation and boundary spanning; and navigating autonomy, agency and prescription 3/5

The findings show that there is not “one best way” to lead a MAT, rather trust leaders need to engage in a “constant dance” as they seek to balance different priorities such as efficiency, effectiveness, relationships, growth, ownership, and the contextual diversity of their schools 4/5

This requires a focus on:
1- instilling shared values
2- engaging in sensemaking to shape adaptive change
3- co-construction as a core and continuing process
4- developing epistemic communities characterised by shared concepts, languages and tools as a basis for collaboration.
