  8. “.....we have been witness to countless uncomfortable examples of executiveswho feel that the art of leadership is to give unfettered expression to theirtrue selves in bold, take it or leave it fashion. They typically find that otherschoose to leave it. Leadership is not achieved by riding into town – cowboyfashion – and shooting it up. Skilful leaders, to continue the analogy, need toget a sense of the town and to conform enough so that they are seen to beacting in the best interests of the townspeople, so they can lead changewithout being shot early in the proceedings.” "Why should anyone be led by you" - Rob Goffee and Gareth Jones

  9. “strategies that travel well, travel with nuance.” Michael Fullan

  10. iv. Competition v Collaboration

  11. “Competition and Collaboration are not contraries. They are complementary. In every aspect of life we do both....The Olympic Games combine immense co-operation in structure and rules with intense competition in events. Only in a harmonious oscillating dance of both competition and co-operation can the extremes of control and chaos be avoided and peaceful permanent order be found” (Dee Hock 1999)

  12. “ If you want to walk fast, walk alone. If you want to walk far, walk together” African proverb

  13. Towards a ‘self-improving’ system • A profession that sets high standards, taking seriously the evidence of what works, • Enthusiasm for excellence, even when it is achieved by other local schools, • Accountability that starts with those we serve: children, young people and their parents, • A commitment to continuous improvement, for others as well as ourselves.

  14. “When the wind of change blows, some build walls others build windmills” Chinese proverb
