Page 20 - Personal Leadership Charter

Can any leader achieve high standards in all Capabilities and

Practices?

Can any leader expect to be good at all the Capabilities and Practices defined in
the EsF Leadership Capability Framework?

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, maybe there are some who are, but in general
we would think not. This is why school leadership is a collective and collaborative
activity. Leadership in successful schools is built around a collection of ‘linked’
teams. Team work, where leaders share their capabilities to ensure the best
outcomes for their school, is the idea. This is another reason why defining your
Personal Leadership Charter is so important – it is about being able to inform the
development of effective teams.

Consider the full list of capabilities in Part 2 of the framework - Leading Others.
