It’s frustrating. You spend your entire prep-hour strategically placing students into groups. You teach, model, and role-play what you want them to do. You assign roles, provide clear objectives, and confirm their understanding of your expectations.

As teachers, we cannot remain behind our desks or in our classrooms, isolated and unsupported. It's not good for our students, our teaching, or ourselves.
PLCs give us the opportunity to collaborate and share our expertise, collectively tackling our students' needs. If we use them strategically, they can make a big difference in how we approach our work.

Leadership is learned behavior that becomes unconscious and automatic over time. For example, leaders can make several important decisions about an issue in the time it takes others to understand the question. Via Dr. Susan Bainbridge

To do these 15 things "automatically" requires a complex web of experiences, relationships, formal and informal education throughout one's formative years. Some people realize their leadership abilities much early in their careers and they learn how to nurture further their leadership skills. In my experience, it is not easy to find someone with excellent leadership abilities. However, once you see one, you know he or she is a leader.

This article show me what a true good leader is or should be. But I think only young generation of directors can be like that for example during my last internship , the director was only 32 years old and he did almost everything it is described on the list, whereas where I'm currently doing my internship the manager is 53 years old , I notice that he is the complete opposite of what it is describe on the list, even if I do my best I have nothing in return only a lot of pressure. I think is is necessary to every leader to look for knowledge and creative ways in order to be an effective and better leader.

This article shows how many things a successful leader should do in his company, with his employees. A leader should build confidence between him and employees to make them speak freely and as a consequence to ignite collective creativity from bottom up. The most important factor is having a very deep partnership with employees. That goes along with well measuring and rewarding performance and being trustworthy. This article is very interesting because it shows how much successful leaders should interact with employees by making them participating to decisions or by showing how much he is responsible. A successful leader must for sure know how to solve problems and this leads to positive energy and attitude within teams. Flexible thinking and bottom up participation are the best actions a successful leader should do. Empowered employees to generate ideas bring more value to leaders at less cost. Furthermore it allows them to properly deploy talent. During my last internship, the director used creative genius within employees and was fully responsible for it. She was a very good problem solver and brought positive attitude in the company so each teams were very positive and cooperating. And she was indeed a very good leader.
