Is the leadership team in good shape?
The leadership team is a key to the health and productivity of the school. But sometimes we find that our leadership teams have grown “rusty”, uninspired, tired, confused, or that they have fallen into unproductive “ruts” in their leadership through one or more of the following common consequences of time and growth:
- Leadership structures and/or lines of authority, communication or accountability have become complicated, blurred, or impracticable.
- Leaders or potential leaders are feeling uninspired or frustrated and maybe, are looking to find more rewarding positions in other schools.
- Some of the people in the school’s leadership positions appear to be somewhat dysfunctional, maybe because they are not in the right position.
- The exercise of leadership has grown stale with the effect that the school staff and culture has lost its vibrant, expectant, creative forward-moving atmosphere.
Restructuring and “re-firing” the leadership team
Equipping Christian Schools offers some programs and processes to refresh, restructure, and reinvigorate the school leadership team including:
1. An analysis of the effectiveness of current leadership structures, personnel, and placement. This analysis can be followed up with recommendations for productive and life-giving restructure of the leadership team & processes.
2. Impartation of life-giving leadership principles & skills through sessions and projects that generate a theoretical framework and practical applications such as:
- Organizational and leadership principles that will release creative initiative while maintaining unity and alignment.
- Practical outworking of Jesus’ concept of “servant leadership” that releases the “green growth” of professional and spiritual life throughout the fabric of the school’s operation.(Click here to see “The Genius of Jesus in Leadership” program.)
- Personal professional development planning and mentoring for the leadership team. (Click here to see the Avenues Teaching Leaders Appraisal & Development program).
