Relational Relationships

The other evening, I was being interviewed for someone’s doctoral research, a hugely important area: Values-based Leadership. He asked some great questions which caused me to reflect in depth about some of the times when I have been fortunate to be a values-based leader in education. For some of his questions, I didn’t have a ready reply and had to think before answering. How about this great question: Q: How did being a values-led leader help to create trust between you and your colleagues

Sending a poorly behaved child out of class to be "chewed out" by a non-relational deputy head might feel like the right thing to do in the moment, but behaviour support is counter-intuitive. The emotional pull to seek an instant consequence higher up the chain is real, but doing so actually works against what you are trying to achieve. Of course we want the boss to help.
