Getting on Track.
• Which is worse?
1. A school that is inspirationally led but badly managed?
2. A school That is effficiently managed but badly led?
3. A school where bureaucratic systems are more important than personal relationships.
Task – Read the 5 statements belowWhich ones most strike a chord with you?
• I find some colleagues more approachable and supportive than others
• The depth of deprivation both economically and morally within pockets of our community presents significant challenge within our school
• The constant political change agenda, target driven culture and criticism of teachers is very dispiriting
• Some senior leaders at my school seem removed from the day to day reality of the classroom
• There is considerable variance in learning outcomes across different cohorts in my area
“Control the Controllables”“You take control of that which you
can control” - Steven Covey

implement in your school context (amend them if necessary) & write each on a post-it note

Daniel Goleman on leadership styles
1. Visionary, authoritative – focused on values and future scenarios
2. Coaching – the most effective learning relationship
Goleman’s six leadership styles
3. Affiliative – high quality relationships
4. Democratic – meaningful participation
Goleman’s six leadership styles
5. Target setting – outcomes oriented
6. Control – top-down command and control culture
Match the style to a phrase
• Visionary• Coaching• Affiliative• Democratic• Target setting• Control
• “Do what I tell you”• “Come with me”• “People come first”• “What do you
think?”• “Do as I do, now”• “Try this”
Leadership stylesConsider the leadership style that you have
been given, what are the pros and cons of the style.

school?Do the leaders in your school always stick to
the same styles?How does the schoolleadership contextimpact on your leadership?
In Summary…An effective leader will recognise that context matters and that context can provide opportunities. All contexts contain positive elements that can support learning, teaching and leadership
