28. Murgatroyd’s
7
Rules
for
Leadership
Survival
• Forgiveness
is
easier
to
get
than
permission.
• You
cannot
cross
a
chasm
in
two
small
leaps.
Bold
is
good.
Be
bold
oZen,
people
get
used
to
it.
Stay
within
the
rules
–
but
just!
• Never
let
a
good
crisis
go
to
waste.
Use
them
as
the
basis
for
innova<on
and
change.
• The
future
is
not
a
straight
line
from
the
past
–
so
bend
the
line
oZen.
• Make
your
expecta<ons
clear
and
then
empower
and
engage
and
let
the
team
do
the
work.
Think
not
distributed
leadership,
but
renaissance
leadership
everywhere
–
students,
teachers,
administra<on.
• If
in
doubt,
trust
your
ins<ncts
–
the
brain
can
oZen
get
in
the
way.
• Less
is
more.

Top
10…

33. Global
Top
10
• Work-­‐Life
Balance
for
Leaders
in
School
Systems.
• Sustaining
meaningful
engagement
with
teachers.
• Staying
strategically
focused
–
“don't
sweat
the
small
stuff”!
• Finding
the
evidence
base
for
decisions
within
the
school
and
not
being
too
concerned
with
PISA,
TIMMS
or
other
standardized
measures
over
which
teachers
and
schools
have
very
li`le
influence.
What
are
the
indicators
you
need
to
show
that
you
are
making
progress
and
what
predic<ve
measures
can
you
use?
• Building
effec<ve
communi<es
of
prac<ce
networks
locally,
na<onally
and
globally.
Be
a
hub
and
a
spoke.

34. • Finding
and
keeping
a
mentor,
coach
and
guide
–
no
one
can
be
a
leader
without
help:
asking
for
help
when
you
need
it
is
a
sign
of
strength.
• Finding
<me
to
read
and
reflect.
Most
leaders
subscribe
to
periodicals
and
buy
books
–
they
don't
read
them.
READ!
• Building
leadership
throughout
the
school
and
empowering
teachers
as
leaders.
• Understanding
your
own
leadership
development
needs.
• Remembering
to
celebrate,
have
fun
and
enjoy
this
work
–
life
is
too
short!
