This document provides information about the role of chairs of school governing bodies and their relationship with headteachers. It discusses the importance of the relationship between the chair and headteacher as the two most important school leaders. Their goals should be aligned to improve the school, though they have different roles - the chair focuses on strategy while the headteacher manages operations. Effective chairs build strong teams, ask strategic questions, and celebrate success while allowing the headteacher to provide information and seek governing body support and views. Trust between the chair and headteacher is essential and is built on reliability, acceptance, openness, and congruence.

The "Secret" to High-Performance Collaboration Is PracticeEugene Kim
Most of us recognize the critical importance of collaboration in our everyday lives, whether with family, friends, colleagues, or community. Sadly, most of us also have had more bad experiences working with others than good, much less great. Why is this? How can we shift it? What’s the “secret” to high-performance collaboration?
The answer is simple, but not easy: Practice. We can look at other high-performance collaborative fields — from sports to music — to understand how best to structure and support practice that will lead to better collaboration.
These slides are from a keynote I gave at The Collaboratory 5 on March 22, 2017 in Atlanta, Georgia.
