Great Leaders!

Over the holidays I have been thinking about what makes a great leader, a great manager, a great headteacher...

It's a starter for ten but I think that really great leaders...

• Let go of things others can do.
• Encourage initiative, ideas, and risk taking.
• Ensure that people have clear goals and know how they're doing.
• Delegate to challenge, develop, and empower.
• Coach to ensure success.
• Constantly reinforce good work and good attempts.
• Share information, knowledge, and skills.
• Value, trust, and respect each colleague.
• Provide support without taking over.
• Practice what they preach.
