I have taken on schools that have 'lost their way'.  In each school there have been fundamental problems with the way the schools have been led/managed. In each school the degree of ineffective leadership from the principal has been proportional to the outcomes for learners. The school I have just joined is one of the lowest performing schools in the country. Go figure. I agree with every single one of the statements listed above as I have picked up their consequences time after time. Of course I can't say that I am perfect but I do know my weaknesses and their impact on others. Can I suggest a lack of self awareness as number 13? I’m a leader in education.

In a way (and I know your views on the terms “coach” and “mentor”) we all have the ability to coach, mentor, advise and make an impact on the future. PS- An amazing bi-product of this approach is the amount you yourself will learn from it! I agree with everything you say and would like to add: as
