"As Malcom Gladwell describes in his book, “The Tipping Point“, he states:
The success of any kind of social epidemic is heavily dependent on the involvement of people with a particular and rare set of social gifts."
Although Gladwell talks about the “Law of the Few” (connectors, mavens, salesman), I do not believe change is solely dependent upon their skills, but also the culture in which they exist. You cannot be a connector if you are in an environment where people do not want to come together. So although a change agent can trigger growth in an organization, the culture in which they exist or are brought into has a huge bearing on their success. If a school embodies itself as a true learning organization, change will happen much quicker."
