 Part 1:

If people agree with me, fine – but I’m happy to proceed even when I’m in a
1
minority of one. I’m sure my colleagues know this.

“What do you think?” is one of the most important questions a leader can ask. I’m
2
always widely consultative.

3 It’s a leader’s job to provide effective systems and clear procedures.

I look to identify teachers’ strengths and weaknesses as a first step towards

4
improving practice in the school.

I greatly enjoy staff meetings/briefing sessions because they give me the chance
5
to explain to people where we are going as a school.

 Part 2:

6 My job is to set and monitor clear and challenging goals for people.

7 I see it as a very important part of my job to build unity and try to avoid conflict.

It’s important for a head to be somewhat removed from the hurly-burly of day-to-
8
day life in school in order to gain perspective.

It’s of the utmost importance to get teachers discussing the practice of teaching in
9
their own subjects and their own classrooms.

10 I spend a lot of time talking about my vision for the school.

 Part 4:

11 It’s inevitable and healthy that people are a little scared of their boss.

12 A good boss is inclusive and always encourages others to voice their opinions.

A head’s concern is to ensure the underlying conditions exist for the school’s
13 success; it is for others in the management team to concern themselves with the
minutiae of academic performance.

I spend a lot of time talking to my staff about pedagogy, including discussing my

14
own performance

The great thing about my job is that the destiny of the school is in my hands. It’s
15
the most wonderful and exciting responsibility.

 Part 5:

Popularity is unimportant; the important thing for a boss is to be respected and,

16
when it comes to it, obeyed.

I work hard to build good relationships based on harmony, trust and mutual
17
support.

18 An effective school is an efficient one – and I take pride in our efficiency.

Developing teachers and teaching is the most important responsibility of a head. I

19
personally invest a large amount of time in this.

20 People see me as their leader not just as the headteacher; I do, too.
