The Best Leaders Have the Best Systems

The Best Leaders Have the Best Systems | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
For a leader to be effective, he or she needs to create and implement systems. This post details three reasons why systems are critical for success.

 

  1. Most people aren’t great at developing systems.
  2. To work, most systems have to be personal.
  3. You can’t grow without systems.

venygamurao's curator insight, February 19, 2016 6:58 AM

I admire seeing and talking to people give their best efforts handing over their experiences through seminars, workshops and now in social medias. Yes, in tough times our character is tested and evaluated after. There may be tips, guide or suggestions on how you will perk it up or do it in practice. No matter how your parents raised, guided and trained you, it will always be your decision and actions speak for yourself.

The Best Leaders Are Critical Thinkers - Lolly Daskal | Leadership

The Best Leaders Are Critical Thinkers - Lolly Daskal | Leadership | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

What makes some leaders stand out from the rest?

It has to do with their ability to think decisively.

The best leaders evaluate their options, weigh in on the alternatives, connect the dots, and look for potential in order to make informed decisions.

Here are some of the things great critical thinkers make a habit of:

Leading with questions. Open-ended questions, in particular, help you get to the heart of the matter. Start with Why?, How?, What?, and Where?

Embracing different points of view. As a leader, you need to be able to take advantage of the diversity in your team (and board, if you have one) to help you see things from different perspectives. The best leaders see and make use of the insights that everyone has to offer. They honor different opinions and ideas, because they know those differences lead to better decisions.

Leading with agility. As the old saying goes, the only constant is change—and the variables are always shifting and adjusting. Leading through change requires an open mind that can see opportunity in every situation.

Keeping an open mind. In the complex world of business, a leader with an open mind will find potential by sizing up all the answers, holding on to differences of opinion, and taking in all the variables to see clearly.

The leader who thinks critically and manages ambiguity will be the one who leads where others cannot.

Lead From Within: Be the leader who knows that nothing is as it seems. There is always uncertainty; there is always ambiguity. Be clever enough to size things up, connect the dots, see the potential, and act decisively when no one else can.

4 Mistakes Really Nice Leaders Make

4 Mistakes Really Nice Leaders Make | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

We all want to be liked and accepted in both our personal and professional lives. But when it comes to effective leadership, a high need to be liked most often leads to disaster.


I’ve encountered many leaders who were genuinely “nice” people, and would do absolutely anything to support their people and make them happy. Sounds like a wonderful person to work for, right? In reality, these leaders had significant problems on their teams, and very low morale.

Leaders who place a high value on making everyone happy often sacrifice good decisions to do so. There is a difference between doing what is nice, and doing what is right. When leaders fail to do what’s right, they are not acting in the best interest of the organization and its employees. They lose the respect of their staff, create people problems, and cause morale to plummet.

Why are the best players sitting on the bench? | CTQ

Why are the best players sitting on the bench? | CTQ | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

Teacher expertise.



Why? Here are a few reasons from the researchers on why teacher expertise in education policy (development, implementation, reflection, etc.) is important:






  • Reform can be problematic if teachers do not have a voice in education policy changes and the policy agenda (Wells, 2012; Bangs & Frost, 2012).
  • Teacher voice and teacher leadership is vital for the success of reform movements (Little, 1988; Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, 2011; Wells, 2012; York-Barr & Duke, 2004).
  • There is a chasm between current education policy and what teachers know and experience as practitioners (Bangs & Frost, 2012).
  • There is a huge gap between policy and practice in education (Berry et al., 2013).
  • We have a history of failed education reforms and policies with very little teacher input, and if there is teacher input, it may not be in meaningful ways. Think “rubber stamp” (Goldstein, 2014; Ravitch, 2011; anyone who looks at the history of education).


Teachers are the experts who will help identify the problem, the root cause of the problem, and the possible policy solution(s).

So the checklist? It’s a great start. But I have a to ask a question that could make it even stronger.

Teacherpreneurs: Changing education from the inside out | CTQ

Teacherpreneurs: Changing education from the inside out | CTQ | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

What if teachers could lead without leaving the classroom—and in doing so, incubate and execute their own policy and pedagogical ideas?

In recent years, the Center for Teaching Quality has supported two dozen teacherpreneurs — expert teachers who typically have a reduced teaching load of 50% — to lead bold reforms at the school, district, state and national levels. In partnership with districts (and with philanthropic financial support), teacherpreneurs like Noah Zeichner, Ali Wright, Jessica Cuthbertson and Julie Hiltz have achieved remarkable results for students, schools and the profession.

These classroom experts have generated powerful proof points for CTQ’s bold brand of teacher leadership, documented in a series of case studies. Their experiences have also yielded “lessons learned” that we can share with others interested in this model:


Extra time yields extraordinary results. 


The best teacherpreneurs “lead from the middle.


Technology keeps teacher leaders connected with the world while based in the classroom.


Relationships matter.


Blurring the lines between policy and practice makes each stronger.


When educators can teach and lead, they and their schools benefit.

Toyota had this idea many years ago - creative thinking time - what teachers have always wanted ...It actually does work!

Tony Palmeri's curator insight, October 24, 2015 10:12 AM

I chose this resources because I was interested in the concept of "teacherpreneurs". The opportunity to be afforded the time to engage in policy development and leadership roles is certainly terrific. I've always felt the influence from the ground level (teachers) is seldom felt. Instead, influence remains with the research community and union organizations. Of the specific points described in this article is that "The best teacherpreneurs lead from the middle". Teachers respond to others who are dealing with the same pressures and stresses associated with teaching. 

Shelly Reckow VanVoorst's curator insight, October 25, 2015 5:57 PM

I scooped this article because more and more the topic of teacherpreneurs is coming up.  I like the idea of teachers as leaders, and even helping with policies.  It will be interesting to see if this expands more in the future. I hope that teachers reading this article watch this course of study/action closely and take part in it when they can, as we need more teachers to move into leadership and even into advocacy roles for education.

Educational Leadership | Leveraging Teacher Leadership | EL Study Guide

Educational Leadership | Leveraging Teacher Leadership | EL Study Guide | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Teachers lead learning in their classrooms every day, but teacher leadership often extends beyond the classroom. Teachers lead their colleagues in professional learning and growth. They lead their communities in bringing change to schools. They might focus on leading within their schools and localities, or they might use social media to share their ideas with fellow educators around the world. But such leadership can be a challenge.


Administrators and policymakers need to listen to teacher voices and give teachers room to lead. This issue of Educational Leadership looks at how teachers are leading today and considers how schools can best leverage the leadership skills of teachers.

Cyber security is no longer the sole responsibility of the technical people, or even the CIO.


Following the Target breach (where immense pressure was placed to replace most of the board members after the breach), and board members of Target and Wyndham Worldwide (hotel chain) face derivative lawsuit related to the data breaches. Recent survey reveal that nearly half (45%) of senior management acknowledge that the C-suite and senior leadership themselves are responsible for protecting their companies against cyber-attacks, and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission recently published a paper on the Role of the Boards of Directors in Overseeing Cyber-Risk Management, where it recommends:

Cyber-risk must be considered as part of the board’s overall risk oversight: “boards that choose to ignore, or minimize, the importance of cyber security oversight responsibility, do so at their own peril.”

Boards should assess the corporation’s cyber security measures including corporate policies and annual budgets for privacy and IT security programs. And perhaps, more critically, highlights the significance of cyber-risk education for directors, ensuring that the board be at least adequately represented by members with a good understanding of information technology issues that pose risks to the company.

Bluffing Your Way to the Top | Camouflage

Bluffing Your Way to the Top | Camouflage | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Remember the days when you were in school, and you studied your tail off for an exam? You celebrated when you received your grade only to find out that one of your classmates, who had partied the night before, blew the socks off the exam because he had gotten a hold of the test questions beforehand.

Well, you thought that after you graduated, you had left all that baggage behind. Then you find out that these same characters are soaring through the corporate ranks because — you guessed it — they’ve learned how to “play the system.”

Well, I’ve got a message for these counterfeit superstars: If you think you can bluff your way through life, you’ve got something coming.

Eventually, people see right through these shortcuts to success. In fact, these counterfeit superstars are living on borrowed time. The day will come when their ways will come back to bite them. GOTCHA!

Despite the fact that the majority of people play by the rules and try to do the right thing, there are a number of bad actors in every organization who have no problem advancing their careers on the backs of others.

How Provocative dare you be? - Coaching through Change Problems

How Provocative dare you be? - Coaching through Change Problems | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Provocative coaching is a great tool during change processes. Dare you disrupt your client to help them find a resourceful response to the change problem?

 

“Content is verbal and already known. I advise you to not get drawn into the story the client tells. Instead, look at how they are and who they are. The information you need to help them get unstuck is IN the process.

 

Points excerpted:

Look for nonverbal cues. Don’t always listen to what the client says!Keep your attention with them completely: notice their nonverbal communication, and their patterns of telling their story, their patterns of behaving. The key is to interrupt their patterns – to distract them – to take them out of their current state of mind – to help them see the situation with fresh eyes and wake up and learn.”“When you’re thinking what to do next – you’re away from the present. Stay aware in the here and now with your client.”The three demons that jeopardize a person’s effectiveness: muscle tension, inner noise and tunnel vision. 

To serve the client and nothing but the client – we must provoke a resourceful response – to let them find and appreciate what is true and what is helpful in their change process.

Seek, sense, share.


Reinvention and relevance in the 21st century instead draw on our ability to adjust our way of thinking, learning, doing and being. Leaders must get comfortable with living in a state of continually becoming, a perpetual beta mode. Leaders that stay on top of society’s changes do so by being receptive and able to learn. In a time where the half-life of any skill is about five years, leaders bear a responsibility to renew their perspective in order to secure the relevance of their organizations.

Tony Palmeri's curator insight, October 24, 2015 10:53 AM

I chose this resource because I've always held the fundamental belief that leadership must continually model a learning-driven approach if they expect the same from subordinates. I like the Seek-Sense-Share model of personal knowledge mastery described here. In many ways this model mimics the scientific method. As a bona fide science geek, I agree that being curious, identifying questions, seeking resolution, and communicating findings is a knowledge-acquisition protocol that has proven to be very effective.

The Innovator's Mindset: Envisioning the Future

The Innovator's Mindset: Envisioning the Future | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Innovation is everyone's great desire. We worship innovation. Entrepreneurs embrace it. Careers are made on it. Companies compete over it. The challenge is we may not all be talking about the same thing.


The innovator's mindset embraces these ten strategies I have found in my research:
1. Bring value and meaning that is clearly unique. 
2. Create a culture of inventing that others can build on. 
3. Move with velocity to embrace the new. 
4. Have the courage to create. 
5. Disrupt yourself before others do. 
6. If you don't have passion about an idea, don't do it. 
7. Change something to make it better, bring the value. 
8. Monetizing innovation is called success. 
9. People do the innovating. 
10. Decide what mountain top you want to own, then go for it.

The four traits of collaborative leadership - Virgin.com

The four traits of collaborative leadership - Virgin.com | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

So what does tomorrow’s leader look like? Here are four traits on the rise:

 

  1. Part of the team. For a millennial workforce, working collaboratively is key – and that includes the chance to challenge and question the boss. Great leaders will spend time meeting their staff and really listening to what they have to say.
  2. Admitting mistakes. Authenticity rules, and that might mean having the courage and conviction to admit lack of knowledge or making the wrong call. Humility is critical, particularly in an age of transparency and public accountability.
  3. Multi-sector experience. Millennials are far more likely to move between jobs and sectors as they develop their career, and they’ll expect their leaders to have the same breadth of experience. The journey from shop floor to CEO isn’t as relevant for tomorrow’s workforce.
  4. Female characteristics. It’s still a shocking truth that 5% of Fortune 500 positions go to women, but the evidence shows that businesses benefit enormously from behavioural traits often considered to be female, such as emotional intelligence, diplomacy and complex social skills. Women make great leaders.
