Leadership in education requires vision, authentic relationships, and an unwavering focus on serving children above all else.
• Scan your school to identify talent and tap potential leaders on the shoulder
• Maintain authentic leadership while balancing accountability and relationships
• Lead with grace and empathy even when delivering difficult messages
• Build resilience through supportive networks and keeping your eye on long-term goals
• Return consistently to your school's vision and values when managing stakeholder demands
• Know which battles are worth fighting and where your ethical "red lines" are
• Recognize when it's time to step back from headship without abandoning your impact on education
• Use your wisdom and experience to influence education more broadly after direct leadership roles
• Remember that your moral compass matters more than institutional politics
• Always centre children in your decision-making—"We wouldn't have jobs if it wasn't for them"
If you're looking to develop your leadership capacity, focus on building relationships, clarify your personal and professional goals, and remember why we're all here—to provide the best possible future for the children in our care.Guest hosted by Zoubiya Ahmed
