Implementing the Theorists LO20906

My question is how does a person implement theorists such as Senge,
Covey, Drucker, Blanchard, and many others, in a learning (espoused)
environment that adheres only to the status quo?
I am currently (trying) to finish my graduate degree at Chapman
University and I have been in nothing but a "up-hill" battle to complete
this degree in organizational leadership. We are being instructed to be
systematic thinkers, test the process, question all things until
understood, but this could not be future from the truth when bringing what
are the seen problems in then instruction to the administration or
academic bodies. My rub is when learning these ideals how do you create a
change environment from a subordinate position when all the people that
"hold" the power "call the shots?" We have instructors that humiliate
female students, are not there a hundred percent, have no classroom
ability to instruct, and yet we as students are supposed to be
understanding of this and progress toward our degree.
Does anyone have thoughts as to how to put theories into working
reality?
