Patience is a virtue.

At our last meeting, we explored how to lead well to ensure effective teaching and learning. We also discussed some of the barriers to these diffrent leadership styles and how in an ideal world, every leader has a little bit of all six .  As I read through the characteristics, I identifed myself as being a visionary, a coach and a democratic leader. However, Matt was insistant that we limit our choices to two so I went with democratic and coach. We then self assessed to see if we had navigated ourselves in the right direction. I was pleased to see that I came out considerably high in the coaching category, followed closely by being a visionary leader. This was pleasing because I think everyone hopes that they come out as a coach. As it is seen to be the most effective.  I must alo be quite confident in self evaluation, understanding my strengths and thus my areas of development. So as stated in my first ever post on this blog, when I mentioned that I consider myself to be impatient. This is likely to be true. With that in mind, I must work on ensuring that I approach others carefully, timely and with caution,
