Description

"Ultimately leadership is not about glorious crowning acts. It's about keeping your team focused on a goal and motivated to do their best to achieve it, especially when the stakes are high and the consequences really matter. It is about laying the groundwork for others' success, and then standing back and letting them shine."  Chris Hadfield

Middle leaders are the essential leaders of learning in twenty-first century schools, and are increasingly recognised as such.  To know and understand the poetry of Judith Wright is one thing;  to influence a peer, to hold colleagues to account, to develop the capacity of others or to build and lead a team rather than just a working group is another, and is the real challenge.  Middle leaders need the skills and confidence to lead their teams because the team is where the change happens.


This workshop is designed for new and experienced middle leaders; the aim is to develop an understanding of the characteristics of a great team and the leader’s role in enabling the team’s high performance.  We will use research from leading writers such as Jon Katzenbach, Patrick Lencioni and Ruth Wageman as anchors for our thinking.  And then, in a very practical way, we will address key questions such as:

  • What is a team?
  • Who is on your team and why? 
  • What does your team do? 
  • How does the team do its work? 
  • How does the team manage the edges? 
  • What is the role of the team leader?
