It’s impossible to be a great leader without empathy.
Empathy is the hallmark of being human. If a person lacks this, then he/she can never truly feel with you. If he/she can’t feel with you, then they will never take the time to truly know you or represent your core values.
This morning I woke up discouraged with what is going on in our country. But one of my bible study brothers encouraged me with this scripture. “So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.” Gal 6:9
The best educators:
1. Students first and belief in students
2. Work hard and make connections
3. Differentiate
4. Are self-motivated
5. Know their why
6. Empower students
7. Are learners
8. Share their knowledge
9. Live their excellence
10. Promote literacy
Leading is only easy when everyone agrees with you. Often, it is a lonely place. True leadership requires character, integrity, the courage to say tough truths, poise under pressure and a willingness to fight.
The most successful students have high EQ’s (Emotional Intelligence), not necessarily high IQ’s. Those students are better able to manage their emotions, in support of their goals and dreams. Should schools help students improve their EQ? Do we have the time? Resources?
