Leadership Connector, Competence
"A leader must recognize that he will never know everything he needs to know" is an important statement for us to realize as we are going into leadership roles. Often times we look up to those who are 'leading' and think they are perfect and know everything there is to know about the area they lead; however it is important for us to know that this is a continual learning process. As we begin these roles we need to embrace this knowledge and learn competent ways to respond when we simply don't have an answer. We can do this by working with other administrators and continuing to build our own capacity.
The list of skills that the text offers is also a very beneficial reflective tool that we can use to help guide us a new leaders. It touches on many ideas that we have already incorporated into our day to day as teachers, but we can expand on them even more an administrative role.
