Focusing on the many challenges faced by school leaders in different contexts including primary, secondary, rural and urban settings, this book helps you find practical solutions that work for your circumstances, align with your values and support your relationship with yourself and your people. It shows you how you can keep well, manage workload, accept differences, confront what is unacceptable, break through what’s uncomfortable and awkward, collaborate and rediscover your joy in the profession.
Based on over twenty years of lessons learned from coaching headteachers and school leaders, People Solutions for School Leaders builds on the foundations of respect, adaptability, a coaching approach, and embedding habits. It gives you what you need to know about leading people in this rapidly changing education system. Chapters feature:
- Themed coaching questions for yourself, your staff, and the people ‘above’ you.
- Activities for team meetings and training days with access to free resources and downloads.
- Headteachers’ shared experiences – in their own words.
- Ways to connect effectively with others, so people ‘get you’ and you ‘get them’.
- Principles of emotional intelligence you can put into practice across your school community for stronger working relationships, successful teams, and community cohesion.
Full of practical insights and actionable strategies, this is essential reading for school leaders across all phases, governors and trustees, and all those with a coaching or mentoring role in education.
