Week 1: Leadership- Thought Leadership and Fellowship

What is good leader? Are you a thought leader? 

A leader is someone that is constantly challenging the norm and what changes could be made to constantly allow a context to move forward. If we are looking at a school context, a leader has a sense of direction and vision for where a school a go, and this may not mean just a principal, but a parent, teacher or support staff member. A leader can happen in any context and anywhere. As long as you strongly believe in something, then anyone can be a leader in their own right. I have noted below some important qualities of a leader that I think are important.

  • vision and belief
  • belief in ones' self to strongly believe in something
  • values other people's
  • open communication
  • acceptance of other people's ideas
  • acceptance and openeness to be willing to change or adapt practice or ideas
