RESOURCES TO SUPPORT YOUR LEADERSHIP

 School life can be tough. That may lead you to want to change the system or the place you are working but, as the psychiatrist Viktor Frankl wrote: ‘When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.’ This is a process which enables you to develop your resilience over time. In both your work and personal life you should be able to grow whilst holding onto your dignity, not giving more than you are able, and your integrity, doing a great job. The four key questions to ask yourself are:

• Who am I?
• Who do I want to be and what do I want to do?
• How can I grow?
• How can I pass it on?

The tips below link to the fable The Five Dysfunctions of an SLT. You can use them alongside that or independently. They will help you answer each question not just once but by returning over time with the support of colleagues and friends.
