Leadership

Leadership is practiced not so much in words as in attitude and in actions.

~Harold Geneen, Founder, MCI Communications

• • By learning more about my own personality and leadership style, I am able to better understand the impact I have on others and how to lead more effectively.

  • Effective leaders should surround themselves with people who are capable, compassionate, sensible and proactive.

  • True school leadership builds trust through consistent decision-making.

  • Educational leaders should inspire teachers, students and parents to have high performance expectations of each other. This can be accomplished by involving each in goal setting, training, and reflection.

  • Leaders should admit and learn from their failures while celebrating their successes.

  • Leaders should carefully select their behaviors, words and actions, as they will impact how others perceive them.

  • Leaders should Be Proactive, Begin with the End in Mind, Put First Things First, Think Win/Win, Seek First to Understand... Then to be Understood, Synergize then Sharpen the Saw. ~"The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People" - Stephen R. Covey

Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other.
