學校是一個小型社會，組織內外與組織相關成員都會與組織生態發生意識與行為的關聯。本研究個案學校之初任校長在進入初擔任校長一職的老校後，發現個案老校成員普遍工作態度不佳，對應擔負職務僅做敷衍、不能有效達成，僵化的行政作為顯現於校務推動，帶給學校行政推動的困擾。
研究歷程中，研究者扮演行動研究者的角色，將研究者與事件相關的學校成員間對話與行動，內容涵蓋問題事件之相關同仁、其他夥伴、學校成員等的相關反應記錄，以及初任校長對事件的省思、改變及思考推動策略等作為，即初任校長發揮智慧和創新領導在工作和研究職場的「變革」行動歷程，以日記及篇章的型態敘說及記錄下來。
本研究以個案研究的架構作為研究藍圖，從個案學校的行為問題出現，學校領導採取瞭解及行政處理策略，擬定初步解決問題方案並予執行；至不同問題行為出現，再度研擬對策再執行；最後參照變革領導及創新等其他行政處理方式，並試圖找尋其他可行之解決方案等。初任校長以行動研究者的角色在與事件相關的學校成員間對話與行動，一步步的釐清每個成員的預設立場後，還原事件多元又個殊的本質，更做出了正確的教育決定。
研究過程並以「應變革卻錯失變革良機」的一所個案學校，以及「變革領導者變革態度造成學校危機」另一所學校為反例，再再提醒面對學校問題時，身為學校領導者該有的行動作為及行動智慧。其實，機會是掌握在學校領導者的智慧決定，若是自己仍在終生學習的教育生涯路上，應該是要隨時為自己適時增加學習成長的累積智慧，才能面對多元多變的時代趨勢。
「有怎樣的校長，就有怎樣的學校」。校長一職動見觀瞻，在在說明其獨特性與重要性。本研究的初任校長針對自己工作表現，同時撰寫「省思札記」，將其應用變革領導與創新經營策略於學校組織運作及發展，獲得了肯定成果後，決定將其活用變革領導與創新經營的歷程說明及心得分享，提供給有意推動變革領導與創新經營之學校領導者做學校經營之參考。有了初任校長表現的第一手觀察資料，未來更可提供給其他初任校長反思與成長的參照依據。

Abstract

Every school is a small society. Everything that occurs in the organization will influence its own system, where the interacting individuals within form conscious and behavioral connections, ones that are closely tied to its growth. Being a new principal of the old school, the researcher discovered that staff and faculty there did not have positive attitudes at work; what’s worse, they did their jobs superficially and perfunctorily. The rigid and passive administration delayed the implementation of administrative affairs. Their office inefficiencies have been a burden of administering school affairs.
The writer played the role as an active researcher in the process of the study. He recorded the responses of related school colleagues, staff, and members by observing their reactions and taking down the dialogues among them. Also, the reflection, change, and the conceptualization and measurement of policies of the new principal in these events were recorded; meanwhile, the researcher brainstormed and adopted the innovation leadership with wisdom and action on his work and research. The reflection, change and adoption of strategic planning were faithfully narrated and logged as journals in the change process.
Case study was the blueprint of this research; embarking on the problems in the case elementary school, leaders made the initial problem-solving plan and practiced it by understanding and the strategy of administrative operations. When other problems occurred, the school team regenerated strategies and re-administered them. Eventually, referring to the change leadership and creative administrative operations, the team tried to discover another replaceable and feasible solution. Being an active researcher, the writer interacted and clarified standpoints with the relevant staff and faculty. After a step-by-step exploration, the researcher comprehended the considerations of the members and clarified the multiple and respective essence of these events, so that he could make accurate, educational decisions.
In the process of study, the researcher took two schools as negative examples– one was a school which needed to be reorganized and changed but didn't do it, and the other school was in danger due to wrong change attitudes of the leader. According to the cases above, the researcher was reminded that a leader needs to have wisdom for action when facing problems that a school might have. In fact, the chance of overcoming problems depends on the wisdom and behavior of principals. While still working as life-long educators, the principals should keep learning and accumulating wisdom at all times in order to face and catch up with the complex and changeable world.
“As is the principal, so is the school.” These words indeed show the importance and specialty of principals. Every decision a principal makes is strongly correlated with others in the school. In this study, the researcher focused on his job performance and delineated the change diary, which shared his perspectives and the process of how the researcher successfully employed the strategies of changed leadership and creative management on school organizational operation and development, and finally acquired the positive effects. The researcher provided his experiences to other new principals with the same difficulties, so it can be a reference for their school management. With these observations, the researcher hoped that others who manage the school for the first time can consult this report as a reference for their reflection and growth.
