My definition of a leader has changed recently with an addition to the family several months ago. I have found that not only has my seemingly carefree lifestyle been turned upside down I’m now questioning many things that I had never before. I believe that these changes are similar to what it must be like to develop leadership. The similarities I find in this context with regard to my understanding of leadership include: Self-sacrifice, communication skills, flexibility, time management skills, ability to inspire, empathise and work collaboratively with others. A leader can’t sit back and watch TV nor spend a majority of their time with their feet up, they need to be active, flexible and effective communicators taking in differing opinions, morals and ethics while also considering the best course of action to benefit the masses.
I have previously been blessed to have had a few opportunities to take on roles requiring leadership within a school. These roles include Sport coordinator, year advisor and being employed as a mentor for identified teachers on top of the leadership role of a classroom teacher.
