Visible Leadership

Leadership comes in many different guises in the world of education and much has been written about the theoretical models that exist. I have long advocated that one model cannot and does not work when applied in isolation – the best leadership is always a careful mix of different approaches that are blended through the personal intuition of the experienced leader. This philosophy has led me to analyse my own leadership and the styles and approaches I have come to rely on. I liken my approach to that of the pub-landlord and offer “visible leadership” as the model which I believe is truly transformational.

Leadership and Management

Analysing research on the extent to which learning benefits from close levels of individualized intervention… and lessons for our own research models.

A more thorough and academic blog than usual, focusing on two pieces of research and their findings on learning and interventions; and an analysis of how these research papers differ in their approach and what that can teach us about our own research models.
