The Leadership Daily blog wrote about the habits of mind that leaders should demonstrate. You can read the post here.
The post is about developing habits of mind - getting your mind into habits that will demonstrate good leadership. The write shares six good habits. Here's how they could apply in school leadership:
Modelling: If we want others to achieve we need to model what we expect in terms of behaviour, attitude and the approach to the way we work.
Coaching: We should encourage others to think through what they are trying to do. Raise questions to help others arrive at the answers rather than telling others what to do.
Scaffolding: Provide the opportunity for members of staff to experiment and try new things. Give them the chance to explore and perform well.
Articulation: Explain what you are thinking and why you are considering making change so that colleagues, parents and pupils appreciate the process.
Reflection: Reflect on all aspects of your leadership role. What went well and why? What didn't go well and how could we do it differently?
Exploration: Model risk taking so that others can see that there are rewards for taking a risk and trying something different.
Do leaders have any other habits of mind?
