Leaders need both high IQ and EQ

Restless Leaders.... There is a strange tension at their core: they are very secure in their systems, values and successes yet simultaneously are seeking to change and improve.

This type of leader and his/her school looks inward to secure wise development; they look outwards to seize innovation which they can shape in the best interests of the students they serve.

Strong leadership thrives confidently on accountability and does not see it as an intrusion or obstacle; equally, inspired and inspiring leaders embrace opportunities to be entrepreneurial and innovative where there are evident gains for staff development and for enhancing pupils’ experiences within and outside school.
