I am passionate about professional learning, but found that the instructional coaches were about telling rather than listening.

I fnd it is very difficult over time. Many administrators retain the language and vocabulary but not the actions.

How we adopt advice should improve as we become more self-aware. Our reason for seeking counsel continually changes with heightened self-awareness. Who we look to for advice changes as we grow older, and as we better understand both the perspective of those we surround ourselves with, and their relationship to us. We become more tuned into our ability to compare and contrast what we truly want and how to weigh others’ insights.

Finding a valued source of wisdom is critical because no one can go it alone. And finding someone who matches with your style, understanding your circumstances and your organization is key.

Seeking guidance from those you trust is what a mentoring relationship is all about. Taking the advice and reflecting on the decision to be made must be given sound consideration.

This is really thought provoking and promotes the idea that innovation comes from the fringes, from non-conformity, and from the disagreeable.

Thought provoking and promotes the idea that leaders need to be brave enough to welcome dissention.

It is so important to teach your employees to speak truth to power. If your management team has 10 people and they ALL agree with you ALL of the time, then 9 are redundant. It's the ability to harnass a variety of perspectives that distinguishes a high performing team.

"Because these leaders often have a high need to control people and situations, they are unlikely to trust others or to delegate." They are not leaders then.

This is a great article that essentially allows and administrator to take the techniques and methodologies used by induction coaches to assist their new teachers.
Admin should use this article to gain skills need to assist their new teaches.

Good points though my definition of harmony does not exclude conflicts. On the contrary it encourages conflicts, different opinions, etc. but resolves them in the congruent way

In today’s climate of fear, it’s therefore increasingly important to be vigilant about which fears we buy into, and more discerning about whether they are actually serving us, or holding us back. To help you along, here are five risks you need to take to help you move ahead in your career and enjoy greater fulfilment in your life.

Some very good point here - I particularly like the idea of the cost of doing nothing, which is often high and painful.

Risk awkward conversations and be candid. That is great advice.

Leadership does not happen in places where fear is present. Many organizations and their leaders use fear to 'motivate' people. That is not possible. |
