Leadership qualities
December 6, 2007 by gaildyer
Desire to keep on learning, exploring, discovering and recognise everyone is a learner
Continually accept new challenges
High expectations of self and others
Taking risks
Daring to be different
Open to ideas from all sources
Flexibile
There is a time for everyone to lead, the more leaders the better
A desire for personal power is not a key motivator
developing a happy, safe working space where learning is stimulated and celebrated
Communicator
Modelling expectations, leading by example . . . don’t do as I say do as I do.
Teamwork
Collegial relationships
Trust and respect for all people
Always find the positive in a situation
Learn from mistakes
Choose the hill to die on
Persistent
Sceptical
Make time and space for dialogue about teaching and learning with colleagues
Understand that change is a constant and it’s like sitting on a picket fence . . . there is no time for complacency.
Have a vision and enjoy the voyage, know the tide charts, understand the currents, enjoy the eddies, weather the storms and be prepared for the tsunamis.
