School leadership... crises as the norm?


We thought we might share some perspectives on current leadership practices both locally and nationally made by Steve Mumby in a recent presentation to schools in Southampton. He has a interesting take on the acceptance that crises is the norm and that we shouldn't be phased by it! Obviously, this is heavily summarised but we particularly liked this advice for schools:
  • Regard crises as the norm and complexity as fun
  • A bottomless well of intellectual curiosity
  • A complete absence of paranoia and self-pity
  • Unwarranted optimism
