It's all about culture!

People constantly tell me that things are impossible and the more I visit other places the more I realise what we had at Education Leeds. These are the things I learned...

• This is a co-operative, collaborative team game and we must all be team players.
• Command and control doesn't work and we must dump the power and the control freaks.
• We must share everything through our learning networks.
• We must develop openness and transparency so that everything is available to everyone.
• “Integrated joined up solutions” should underpin our culture.
• We should partner with the “best” and share with the rest.
• Remember all schools are created equal and all schools can contribute equally!
• Remember professionalism and excellence are the watchwords.
• We must all invest in re-wiring our organisations.
• We must all live the Team Learning Brand.
• We must become fans of co-operation and partnership.
• We must all use the words “partner”, "team", "we" and "us".
• We should obsessively seek and support inclusion.
• We must work on team identity and solidarity.
