Leadership requires integrity. Whenever you compromise your integrity, the results are always bad. Every decision carries a cost. Make a choice. And make it for sound reasons.

Honest, open communication creates trust & leads to collaboration. In educational leadership, this is key. As a leader, make the first move on this - to set the tone and shape the culture. Don't shy away from being upfront about challenges. Be transparent. Be bold. Be honest.

At the end of a day of taking stock and recalibrating for the next phase of #ScottishAttainmentChallenge at the national conference, we heard the inspirational words of Graeme Armstrong. His story is a real call to action for us in schools and a reminder of the power of education.

Colleagues, leadership at any level can be a tough gig - you’ll often find yourself dealing with difficult situations. People are generally doing their best. In your interactions, remember the person. Treat others with the respect you’d want to be shown by others. North Ayrshire Education.

The true purpose of any education system is to raise generations of people who have the freedom and responsibility to express who they are. The real education is found in the authenticity and courage to pursue it.

The school is the foundation of any community. It gives structure to shape the leaders of tomorrow, to hone the talents of today, and to give hope to those struggling with what life has thrown at them.  Be proud of the schools in your town & do all you can to support them.
