Stop…think…
specialistlanguagecourses.com
‘Most men would rather die than think. Many do.’ - Bertrand Russell
![Page 9: 7 habits of highly effective schools](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042518/555b81a0d8b42aab6c8b5822/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Habit 1 – Be proactive
specialistlanguagecourses.com
Reactive organisations make decisions around the behaviour of others. ‘Outside in.’
Proactive organisations take the initiative – they make commitments and stick to them. They take responsibility for the situations they are in and the results they get. ‘Inside Out’.

Question
Are you spending your time doing what is most effective for your school? And what about the rest of your life? What else needs nurturing for your school to flourish?
So…
Prioritise clearly. State weekly and daily goals. Align with long term vision. Identify key goals for the key parts of your life – don’t let work dominate.
Include ‘partner’, ‘parent’, ‘friend’, ‘contributor’. Delegate, outsource, delete. Say No if it doesn’t align with your vision. Ensure Q2 activities are reducing Q1 demands. Stick with the plan. Make commitments and keep to them.

Habit 5: Seek first to understand..
“Diagnose before you prescribe.”
Ask questions Check your understanding of what the other person is saying
- Content & Emotion Show consideration Develop cultural awareness – be interested (as opposed to ‘interesting’)
leave our assumptions behind Create space for the other to speak Don’t let the inner voice get in the way, don’t jump in with your
autobiography Build trust

..and then to be understood
‘Present your ideas in the context of a deep understanding of other people’s paradigms and concerns’, significantly increase the authority of your ideas.
Show courage to express difficult ideas Create the space and trust to work through issues
As a leader, this creates loyalty and inspires and motivates your staff
