Leadership Course - inital thoughts

A great day. Has left me with more questions and wonderings than I had before and a rather extensive list of books I want to read and so have ordered!

My first wondering is a question based on our BPP’s - what is my Why for leadership? - Why do I want to be a leader? Why will others follow me / be inspired by me?

My initial thoughts stem from the Leadership Challenge book and go back to my 3Ps presentation last year - having a clear Purpose, being able to inspire People and bringing my Passion.

This isn’t enough though as there is no clear Why - I need to make sure I have a clear Purpose, that there is Clarity around this purpose, that others will feel a sense of Belonging, and I need to develop Credibility.

Credibility is something I ponder over as I’m not as experienced a teacher as all others at SPS so why would they follow me - this is why I need a really clear why - to give others a reason to believe in me.

Thinking around my Purpose for leadership and words that come to mind;
Collaboration, progress, innovation, challenge the status-quo, new ideas, fresh thinking.
