The Power of Listening; ''The biggest communication problem is we do not listen to understand. We listen to reply''

“Spoon feeding, in the long run, teaches us nothing but the shape of the spoon”
I really like this quote, especially in the context of mentoring and coaching @patriciamannixm @niamhickey @Leaders_SoE

Liking this quote from Ken Robinson:
The real role of leadership in education ... is not and should not be command and control. The real role of leadership is climate control, creating a climate of possibility. @patriciamannixm @Leaders_SoE @niamhickey

Really enjoyed this week's session on conflict. In a previous job, I worked in an office that had a public counter with a plastic screen as a barrier. Always found this physical barrier problematic in resolving conflict. @patriciamannixm @niamhickey @aidenaid16 @Leaders_SoE

Took my class to the local library today. This was left on the desk for me...Not sure if it was a subtle hint from the class!!! It does show though how a toxic work environment can lead to stress. @patriciamannixm, @niamhickey @Leaders_SoE

Really like 'The Iceberg that sinks organizational change' in this week's session. Extremely important especially if you are new to the school/organization. A leader needs to be able to see what's under the water. As scary as it may be!! @patriciamannixm @Leaders_SoE @niamhickey

[Kevin Twomey @Ktwomey80]

@muinteoirconnie Completely agree👍

[Kevin Twomey @Ktwomey80]

Interesting readings this week. Especially interesting is the ''a human face in the morning and people can see we are on the same side''.
Many issues were resolved by those interactions that we were able to have previously. @patriciamannixm @niamhickey @Leaders_SoE

I was updating my CV earlier. I was reminded of a boss I used to have in a previous job before I became a teacher. Her favorite inspirational line was ''Just do it like the Nike ad says''...very inspirational!!!😀@patriciamannixm @niamhickey

Leadership is about keeping your team focused on a goal and motivated to do their best to achieve it... It is laying the groundwork for others' success, and then standing back and letting them shine.@patriciamannixm @niamhickey @Leaders_SoE
