The paragraph below is taken from the National College's publication titled, "What’s good about leading schools in challenging circumstances? - Succession planning"
Tenacity, humility and emotional intelligence
Such personal conviction in the rightness of one’s beliefs, tenacity in
advocacy for young people and a resilience to take the pain in standing
by them, was tempered by personal humility:
I haven’t got all the answers.
I project confidence whether I’ve got it or not, but I’m prepared to
admit my mistakes when I get it wrong.
There was the perceived need for high levels of emotional intelligence
to generate trust through building relationships, showing respect for
others, and displaying integrity and honesty:
The quality of relationships is key. Emotional intelligence is paramount:
not just awareness of self but empathy for others.
I think it outlines the importance of leading with emotional intelligence and how it fits in with building relationships within schools.
