Leadership is traditionally viewed as a competency-based skill. It is seen as something that people do rather than something they embody. This book challenges that narrative: leadership is about being – it is about who we are, who we need to become and who we can become to enable the learning and growth of others.
Everyone in a school community who is responsible for someone else’s learning is a Learning Leader, and the success of any school community is intrinsically bound to effective leadership at all levels.
In today’s rapidly evolving landscape, it’s imperative to confront the ingrained approaches that leaders adopt when dealing with complex challenges like never before. Working as both a teacher and leader is incredibly rewarding and fulfilling but can also be difficult to navigate. Middle leaders can create a positive work culture, foster a strong collaborative team spirit and nurture affirming collegial relationships, but they are also the first point of contact when challenges arise. Emerge addresses these challenges by assisting readers to let go of mental barriers associated with leadership and to gain self-knowledge about their ingrained dispositions, intrinsic motivations and habitual ways of responding. This knowledge enables readers to lead themselves, their colleagues and schools successfully.
