In The Essence of Leadership Jonathon Byrne captures the elements of effective leadership, discusses the qualities of effective leaders and tells how these qualities can be recognized and developed in others. Some leaders are "natural" leaders, others can be developed.
Today’s educators are passionate about their work, their students and about the schools and organizations in which they work. They are committed to making their organizations a better place and possess the qualities of effective leaders.
Byrne conveys the message that Ambidextrous Leaders need to work with both hands while flying a plane in mid-air to bring about paradigmatic change. Sounds difficult? Sounds like an educator.
Byrne emphasizes the eight essential characteristics needed for leading for paradigmatic change; capacity for passion, perspective, creativity, organizational skills, teamwork, persistence, open-mindedness, and integrity. Today's educators are passionate, persistent, open-minded, creative and team workers of the highest integrity who believe they can leave their footprints in their areas of passion!
