    A1: leaders who are constantly inspiring Ts and Ss and who keep learning fun, all the time. #LeadUpChat
  • BradyVenables Sep 15 @ 9:37 AM EDT
    A1: Limitless leadership= practices have been built and capacity is so strong that when the leader moves on to new opportunities, the successful practices remain. They aren’t person oriented, they are culture oriented #leadupchat

    A1. I'd like to know that even when a teacher leaves our school they have changed because they see that they can make a differene for kids on mutiple platforms through innovative teaching, pushing themselves, and collaborating with colleagues. #leadupchat
  • dawblack Sep 15 @ 9:39 AM EDT
    Agree with this. If leadership is limitless its impact would last without our physical presence. #LeadUpChat
  • RESMissBorges Sep 15 @ 9:39 AM EDT
    A1: Risk-taking!!! Providing staff and students the opportunities to try new things in a safe environment were mistakes are accepted and reflected upon! Trusting in your staff to be the experts in their own rooms.#leadupchat
  • JeniferMcGilli1 Sep 15 @ 9:39 AM EDT

    Q1: Limitless leaders leave a legacy. What does that look like in a school? #leadupchat
  • CraigLCarson Sep 15 @ 9:40 AM EDT
    A1 the leader must focus on school culture & celebrating buy-in. Legacies do not happen around one personality. A lasting legacy is the synergy and collective learning that influences a lasting belief system. #leadupchat

    A1: Impacting outcomes in students lives in both short & long term - the legacy lives in their success as adults #leadupchat
  • ZealousEducator Sep 15 @ 9:40 AM EDT
    A1- A legacy continues as you may leave, & if the climate & culture of that leader stays, that is a legacy. Your name is remembered as great! Your shoes are hard to fill. The continued spirit lives on way beyond your time there. #leadupchat
  • dawblack Sep 15 @ 9:40 AM EDT
    This is some of what I had in mind by talking about reasons to say "yes". Good thoughts. #LeadUpChat
    In reply to @RESMissBorges
  • michelgpage Sep 15 @ 9:40 AM EDT
    A1 - a leader’s legacy can be seen, can be heard and can be felt in the actions, words and attitudes of educators, students and parents. #leadupchat
  • MrDelliSanti Sep 15 @ 9:40 AM EDT
    Adults, too. #leadupchat
    In reply to @JeniferMcGilli1, @drneilgupta
  • SaneeBell Sep 15 @ 9:40 AM EDT
    A1: A legacy doesn’t have to be an initiative, program, or object. It should be a set of core values, a spirit, wisdom, principles and ideals that can be adapted as situations and circumstances change. #leadupchat
  • HeyDrMathews Sep 15 @ 9:40 AM EDT
    A1: Limitless leaders leave a legacy on the culture, traditions, and practices of a school. The “this is how we do...” statement describes the leader’s nonnegotiables, expectations, communication, what was “allowed,” priorities, and leadership vision. #leadupchat
  • carlameyrink Sep 15 @ 9:41 AM EDT
    I agree Dave! Just a few years ago I realized my go-to word was "no" (fear of taking on too much?) So, now I say, "let me think about that. How could you make it happen?" Then if I have to say "no" in the end, at least Ts know I gave the idea serious thought. #leadupchat
    In reply to @dawblack
  • mjjohnson1216 Sep 15 @ 9:41 AM EDT
    A1. Having served as that "leader" for 26 years I became better at it as the decades went by. Administration has also shifted from a dictatorship to amazing teacher leaders who make sure initiatives are sustained over time. #LeadUpChat
  • TonyKlinePhD Sep 15 @ 9:41 AM EDT
    A1: Leaving a legacy can seem overwhelming. When in fact, it's simply what we leave unto others, which flows from our daily words and actions that are rooted in our principles and values #LeadUpChat
  • drneilgupta - Moderator Sep 15 @ 9:41 AM EDT
    Absolutely! I used to think having a building named after me was important - I'd rather have what you posted! #leadupchat

    Limitless leaders find qualities in others they can spotlight so that others are empowered and energized. #leadupchat
  • PrincipalSmart Sep 15 @ 9:41 AM EDT
    I like that idea as well. Put it up to remind and for others to see as well. #leadupchat
    In reply to @drneilgupta
  • TamiJ123 Sep 15 @ 9:42 AM EDT
    A1) It could look like both Ts&Ss inspired even after that leader is gone; it could be an after-shock of positive change still felt&appreciated by Ts, Ss,&even parents; It could be a legacy so powerful that it ripples out & effects change in other schools & districts. #leadupchat
  • The_Groffice Sep 15 @ 9:42 AM EDT
    A1: Legacy=Building a school culture that lives and breathes the mission/vision of the school where systems don’t rely on one single leader to be present in order to achieve that mission/vision. #leadupchat
  • dawblack Sep 15 @ 9:42 AM EDT
    An automatic no is a limiting word. Doesn't mean there isn't a place for it, but too often it is an automatic response. #LeadUpChat
    In reply to @carlameyrink
  • drneilgupta - Moderator Sep 15 @ 9:42 AM EDT
    We could look at it that regardless of what we do, we leave something behind after we are gone. The trick is to make it positive! #leadupchat
    In reply to @TonyKlinePhD
  • kruevans Sep 15 @ 9:42 AM EDT
    A1: They have empowered others to continue to do good work in their place by creating systems and cultures that lead to success. #leadupchat

    A1 Ss are so swallowed up by negativity in the world around them, it should be our mission to teach the power of hope for change. #Leadupchat @drneilgupta
  • CyndiWms5 Sep 15 @ 9:43 AM EDT
    Yes! #LeadUpChat

    A1. This graphic shares aspects of empowering teachers for sustained change. #LeadUpChat
  • sandeeteach Sep 15 @ 9:43 AM EDT
    THIS! It's the DAILY words/actions, the millions of little things that build school culture, that remain when a leader moves on. #leadupchat

    In reply to @dawblack, @3_DLeadership, @drneilgupta
  • Mrs_Gilchrist Sep 15 @ 9:43 AM EDT
    A1: You leave a legacy in a school by building relationships. Through your words, actions, listening ears, and heart, you show others who you are and what you stand for. Through truly seeing them, listening, and caring, you touch their lives. That lasts forever. #leadupchat
  • bethhill2829 Sep 15 @ 9:43 AM EDT
    A1: Belief systems are embedded to a point where there is a level of accountability and ownership by ALL, not just the administration. #leadupchat
  • latoyadixon5 Sep 15 @ 9:43 AM EDT
    A1. A limitless leader’s impact transcends time and trend, goes beyond an improvement plan, or culture shift. It changes the very way folks think about teaching and learning, it influences their philosophy and beliefs, and many times it changes hearts. #leadupchat
  • ObrownOliver Sep 15 @ 9:43 AM EDT
    A1: Limitless leaders set up their successors for even greater success. A legacy means preparing the next generation #LeadupChat

  • dawblack Sep 15 @ 9:44 AM EDT
    A1: I do think we have to be careful if we focus too much on the idea of legacy. It can turn into something self-serving where we lose focus on the day-to-day interactions that will actually make a long-lasting difference. #LeadUpChat
  • smgaillard Sep 15 @ 9:44 AM EDT
    A1 Leadership Legacy reminds me of when Leonard Bernstein placed his conductor baton down mid-performance and the orchestra continued. He stepped back and the band played on. #LeadUpchat #TheBernsteinEffect
  • mafost Sep 15 @ 9:44 AM EDT
    A1. Long Game is the focus. People, Culture, Impact are everything. #leadupchat

  • drneilgupta - Moderator Sep 15 @ 9:45 AM EDT
    I respectfully disagree. I think that if we have a legacy mindset, the foundation of it suggests the person knowing they won't be there forever - it's the opposite of self-serving. #leadupchat

  • bethhill2829 Sep 15 @ 9:45 AM EDT
    A1: The popular thing is not always the right thing, and legacy leaving leaders are not concerned with what’s popular. They focus on what is best for children. They focus on building capacity within their group, rather than quick fixes that get short term results. #leadupchat

  • carlameyrink Sep 15 @ 9:46 AM EDT
    A1 The legacy limitless leaders leave is the culture and philosophy of the school. At least I hope the community spirit and risk taking will live on in school after I'm gone. #leadupchat

    My point is that I have seen the use of the word "Legacy" become more focused on the person as opposed to an ongoing discipline of impact. When talking about legacy, a leader must also be grounded. #LeadUpChat

    The word, "mentor" was given to us by Homer. Mentor was Odysseus' friend whom he left to raise his son during the war with Troy. Mentor's job was to prepare his son to take over should he not return. Mentoring is about preparing people to do it on their own. #leadupchat
