Heads of school work under a constant spotlight, but experience and research indicate that a school’s success actually depends on its whole leadership team. We recognize that few objectives are accomplished by only one person or department, and that all leaders are expected to build and maintain relationships. What can be done to better understand the different personalities on a leadership team and to improve the team’s collaborative performance? Our Leadership Team Workshop can help.
For more details, see our prospectus.
We guide Leadership Teams to improve overall performance by recognizing specific themes and opportunities. Building on insights about their own personalities gained from the Hogan Assessment, team members identify team roles, team derailers, and team culture. Finally, we help the Leadership Team create a development plan for ongoing improvement efforts.
I. Planning: after a preliminary meeting, the Head and Leadership Team take the Hogan Assessment.
II. Engagement:
a) We review the reports individually.
b) The team participates in a one-day (six-hour) workshop.
c) We follow up with the Team to check on progress.
III. Documentation: we deliver a written summary of the Assessment with themes, goals, and action steps created in the Development Plan and supporting tools to track improvment. Individual development options shared at the workshop will be included for ongoing support.
