List+-+Jocelyn

1. Listening -I think it is impossible to be an effective leader without having the ability to be a good listener.

2. Decision-making -Bring up questions to the group that don't have answers (p. 51); don't be indecisive!

3. Positive Reinforcement -Develop a reciprocal relationship with district faculty (p.52) as well as with community members, parents, local law enforcement, etc.

4.Problem-solving -Solve problems instead of assigning blame (p.37)

5.Empowering others -Encourage people, make them feel like they can move mountains!

6.Manage conflict -Personal conflicts aren't allowed to simmer (p.26)

7.Being Creative -Look for alternative ways to solve problems. Often times creative/different ideas will get attention of team members and get them interested in trying things

8.Presenting information

9.Mentoring -Show others how to become a leader

10.Being a visionary -Typically visions already exist, if they are not up to par they can usually be tweeked to work better for everyone. -Also, once there is a shared vision, it's done, you are able to use it as a "yardstick" to measure the successes of the group (p.50)

11.Coaching -One-on-one; "expand the respondents focus from being a reflective practitioner to being a leader" (p.34) I put this low on the list because I don't think this happens very much....

12.Facilitate meetings -Become more skillful at facilitating conversations, reflection, and designing faculty interaction time (p.37) -I think you can lead successfully without having great meetings, but it is definitely helpful.
