A1) One's capacity to lead is proportionate to the skills they develop. Leadership is less tactical & more relational.
Good morning I can't think of a more powerful combo than &

Good morning Seth from Tx ready to learn.
Good morning to you both! Liking forward to hearing your insights!
We are ready for ya Eric. Bring it on.
Good morning guys! Thanks for leading us well!
A1: We should be careful of βinstinctβ and βgut decisionsβ - Need deliberation, debate, and discussion.
A1: Leadership can be learned. Great intuition enhances the ability to lead. Some lead naturally. Others need empowerment.
A1: There is a hue part that is instinctual. That is why some people start off as leaders.
MORNING! Michelle from Buda, TX here...late and have to leave early...but want to learn from you!
A1: Strong leadership is learned and is instinctive, but explicit teaching-->self-awareness-->stronger. https://t.co/T21LXDWFpC
A1: instinct is a factor determining what KIND of leader one can be, not whether or not one can be a leader.
A1: I think some people are born with leadership skills and refining those skills take good leaders to great
A1) Learned through practice and watching positive role models
Running a little late but I'm here now! At a Family Engagement conference so I'll be in and out. Michelle AP from Georgia
I was thinking the same thing! https://t.co/o95K6tl8A9
You got to like starting a Saturday morning with a great chat and already seeing that you follow the majority here
I think that some people are natural leaders but think that anybody, with work, can develop good leadership skills.
Hey there, Brian! So great to connect again!
A1 both. Instincts are invaluable but leadership skills can be learned by watching & learning from effective leaders
A1) Our instincts are a sum of our past experiences synthesized into thoughts and feelings about the present or future.
a1 leadership is learned from listening and growing from experiences.
Hi ! It was great to finally meet you F2F this week @ !
Hey Lena! Great to see you today.
A1)I think we all have leadership potential,but it is incumbent among us as leaders to identify capacity in others and foster it
A1-I think a mixture of both. One can be taught skills and one can take the steps to learn skills.
A1: Like today's chat, its a mashup between the two. With experience, I have learned to be methodical, not the case early on.
Morning Lindsey great to have you here!
Maybe time to think of relocating! I do that every winter!
A1: I think it's a combo...experience is an excellent teacher, too.
A1 I think the leadership ability is inherent but the strong skills are learned. I'm a diff leader than I used to be
A1. Definitely learned. Reinforced and strengthened during Twitter chats when fellow educators share.
A1: Personality influences what we desire, instinct can be valuable but everyone can be taught skills to hone craft.
This is so true! https://t.co/nIGIBN3yzo
A1: instinct is a factor determining what KIND of leader one can be, not whether or not one can be a leader.
A1: Anyone can be born a leader...it takes a willingness to learn and hone skills that makes them a great one!
A1: part 2- But there is always much to learn as a leader. If you donβt plan to learn to b a better leader each day, donβt lead.
A1 A true leader inspires, motivates, creates relationships, collaborates with stakeholders with decisions.
Likewise Elisabeth, I hope all is well!
A1-I feel that some people have the innate ability to lead but the ability to do it well is then developed
A1: Leadership is ALLOWED to grow from those who give us opportunities to hone this skill
A1: Instinct is a compilation of experience and self awareness. Our emotional intelligence helps our "gut" make wise decisions!
A1: Leadership is learned, but strong teachers make strong leaders. Leading classroom, leading school-same skills.
Leadership skills can be learned and improved on, but everyone is not cut out to be a leader
A1: strong leadership is first instinct and then built upon, first have to have the intrinsic motivation
A1
See it as a science and an art- It can be taught- I do not believe- Shakespeare- some are born great..
A1. Both. Hearing about experiences from others is essential as we connect them to our own experiences.
Remember to use BOTH and hashtags today!
A1 intuition plays a part but leadership can be learned. Much of leadership is understanding organizational relationships
excited for today! Fast paced already!
A1 p2 But born leaders are best at growing and encouraging new leadership!
A1) Both. I have gained my leadership skills by watching & observing others in person & from those I have never met.
You use your instincts and your learning to determine your course. Sometimes, even following is leading.
A1 Strong leadership can be learned. They lead from values instilled in them. Those values turn to principles to lead.
I learned a great deal from the Army. Leadership capabilities can be developed over time through education and experience.
Glad you woke up with and today!
A1: Strong leaderships skills are learned--at time through direct teaching, but many time through what we observe in others.
A1 it needs to be lurn but spontaneity is also there. We only teach what we are..
A1. Leadership skills can be learned from great mentors! Watching leaders along my journey made me the leader that I am.
A1: Leadership can be learned through observation of other learders & trial & error
Good morning from Texas! Looking forward to great sharing and discussion!
Agreed Doug! Instinct can keep us living in the status quo. We must continually question assumptions. https://t.co/O9F2EpT8lD
A1: We should be careful of βinstinctβ and βgut decisionsβ - Need deliberation, debate, and discussion.
Leadership can be natural for some, but great leaders read, learn, and listen to others in order to improve.
agreed-learning so much from you!
A1) We lead others as well as we grow ourselves. We can't give what we don't have. Lead within.
Sometimes, it is those observations that show us what NOT to do! https://t.co/UtyyXD7nCN
A1) Both. I have gained my leadership skills by watching & observing others in person & from those I have never met.
A1: Leadership can be learned, but some are more natural, but need to be careful "shooting from hip."
A1 Leadership is learned through experience & observation. Instincts help leaders read people & make spontaneous decisions
A1: Social emotional skills lean towards intuition, but the processes/best practices lean towards experience.
A1: I think we all have innate strengths we bring to the table. We have to be intentional w/ developing other skills.
Morning Michelle, great to have you here!
Glad you are checking in today with both and !
A1 cont'd a true leader takes risks and motivates creative thinking and removes barriers to get it done. Sometimes talent
A1: Values and who you are at your core define what type of leader you CAN be. The potential is always there!
A1: I think you can teach management skills, but leadership skills are innate because they require a personal touch
A1-There is a leader in all of us. It is how that trait is fostered, empowered, & pushed to grow.
A1: If it's about relationships (it is), then I think an empath has a head start (instinct), but more can be learned.
Heidi--meeting you and others I'm connected to online was the highlight of my awesome week!
Greetings to all! Prof Susan in IL returning now that spring term courses are up & running.
Gift to all:
https://t.co/ok2f4AJL0q
A1. Instinct is a HUGE factor! Our experiences and reflections impact our responses.
A1: Anyone can be a leader if they have found what they are passionate about and are willing to learn and fine tune approaches!
A1) Leadership skills are learned and honed - however the less revered gut often leads best https://t.co/W0359Xf4lP
A1: The Leadership Pool will change with resignation, retirement, and new opportunities. School districts must grow new leaders
A1 some think they are leaders & leading but they are more like managers! Leadership, facilitators & managers are all different
I have gained a lot of my skills by watching and observing as well. It is so important to be a keen observer.
A1: Strong leaders are made. I always think of Moses when people ask this question.
A1: If leadership isn't learned, publishers are making a killing off of leadership books that won't help.
Good to see you Michael. I know to early on a Saturday to do that to people!
A1 If you can improve learning is part of it. I think it can feel more natural to some than others.
A1: Instinct sure helps - always need on the spot adjusting to your plan & reading people
A1 Combination. We listen, learn through experience, intuition is sharpened through each new situation.
leaders are not afraid to make mistakes and take risks
Morning Al, great to have you here!
Yes, that's what I was thinking too. I went the empath route due to relationships. What say you?
A1 It's a combination. Ldrs study, practice & hone their skills to improve their craft. Exp allow reflection to use instinct
A1) For any leader to maximize their leadership capability, they need to be willing to learn and grow from other great leaders.
A1: Learned - leadership takes time to develop - it takes focused hard work to become better
Morning Monica, great to have you here!
Thank you for serving our country! https://t.co/ZHuRVvz2KJ
I learned a great deal from the Army. Leadership capabilities can be developed over time through education and experience.
A1 Instinct goes along with a selfless nature that's difficult to learn. Lessons can be learned from mentors & experience
A1.2-I also believe people have qualities that need to be shared and leadership skills are then developed
Meredith! Missed seeing you around. Great to be with you today at both AND
A1: addresses impressiveness of teaching Empathy, as its NOT an innate emotion yet π to successful relationship
Agree! https://t.co/lpYBQJIpTJ
A1: Anyone can be a leader if they have found what they are passionate about and are willing to learn and fine tune approaches!
checking in from ATL! Excited to join in
Dawn, Elem Principal, checking in from MI.
Good morning from Texas! Looking forward to great sharing and discussion!
A1: I believe leadership and learning happen w/ Reflection. The more reflection, the more effective.
A1: You may have good leaders in your pool, but training and professional growth will multiply leaders. https://t.co/5s8c2pVyoo
A1. Learned I think. Someone has to be the teacher, including yourself. Others teach you how or how not to. Then you decide
A1 Both - leadership starts with relationships, trust and skills to expand that impact can be learned or coached.
Absolutely. Can't discount learning in the leadership equation! https://t.co/6ghHTOudut
A1) For any leader to maximize their leadership capability, they need to be willing to learn and grow from other great leaders.
Hey there! Great to see you both. So fantastic to connect more this morning!
A1: often time leaderships opportunities are thrust upon us and there is no other choice.
I completely agree with you! https://t.co/IDrpAfHTUX
A1-I feel that some people have the innate ability to lead but the ability to do it well is then developed
A1: See Pfeifferβs new βLeadership BSβ - it challenges a evidence-free leadership books.
https://t.co/9td2zVw02X
A1 For some maybe instinctual, but can be learned. Practice. Practice. Practice.
Leaders constantly learn & evolve by working with other leaders, learning from other leaders and being open to change
A1 Leadership can be developed and refined, but leaders are "born" with the gift.
A1: We have to have both. We can't learn to lead by only reading about it or only through experience.
A1 The 2 aren't mutually exclusive. Some skills are innate and others are refined/developed. https://t.co/N4t5r0aKxV
I feel the same way! Iβm still on a high! Count down to 2016!!!
Awesome. Glad youβre a part of
We all have those Rock star teachers that are leaders by example. Sometimes they are biggest ldrs in sch https://t.co/K9DUv6pRim
A1: Leadership is learned, but strong teachers make strong leaders. Leading classroom, leading school-same skills.
A1) As long as one's heart and mind are open to new ideas and application, empathy and leadership skills can grow.
Morning! Excited to learn and grow with
A1: Leaders lead! True leaders are game changers & direction setters! Taking people & communities to the next level!
I agree and to assist with stretching presumptions the leader must be a learner
Good morning! I heard you had great times with at ! Welcome to
Ppl who R self-confident, assertive, social, & bold may indeed be predisposed to lead, more quiet, can be taught to lead
Thank you, friend! No problem https://t.co/uB6gu2mZRD
Won't make it! May you all enjoy an energetic conversation & an awesome weekend.
A1: We are all learners based on our experiences. Leadership is often the result of hope and optimism...intuition to lead.
A1)We all have strengths-we also have room for growth. Knowing ourselves-reflecting and growing is key! https://t.co/m4mc0zWhnH
100% agree. Too many things come your way to have been explicitly taught every response!
Q2: How do we move from viewing leadership as a model/program to an expression of connection? https://t.co/QP6MDHwgQE
Agreed. I am constantly learning & growing as a leader. It's a trait all leaders must have!!
A1) Instinct is huge, but any teachings will only fuel the fire.
Michele Hill, NJ A1 some people are born leaders, but anyone can be shaed into one if they have the desire!
Leadership skills can be taught in theory...but you have to put the skills into action...be courageous!
Leadersare always looking to grow. Our supt has made it clear that just bc he he's supt doesn't mean he has "arrived"
Very true. I think leadership skills are always developing so you can be the best leader.
A1. You must have a servants heart which cannot be taught. Everything else can be taught with great mentoring
YESSS!! It's going to be GREAT!
Glad to see folks from Manitoba. Lots of good things happening re: Aboriginal community up there. Folks hopeful.
A1.2: I think we all have a leader inside - it takes courage to let it out
Agreed- empaths easily "read" emotions. It's what they do with the info that makes the great leader!
Yes! Move to Houston!!!! π We want here!! https://t.co/75NzS33JSq
Good morning! I heard you had great times with at ! Welcome to
Always enjoy those leaders that take the steps to learn. They don't wait for the skills to come to them. They go after them
Agree - risk-taking and developing/improving in allows for leadership growth. https://t.co/VAwcE3JAxs
A1: Leadership is ALLOWED to grow from those who give us opportunities to hone this skill
Agree! Leadership is about influencing others to become leaders to [fill in the blank]! https://t.co/JwpfFZcapp
A1: You may have good leaders in your pool, but training and professional growth will multiply leaders. https://t.co/5s8c2pVyoo
Great thoughts CJ. Our intuitions can be good for some decisions, but we must continually evolve.
Empowerment!!! https://t.co/1Z40uWiy6k
A1: Leadership is ALLOWED to grow from those who give us opportunities to hone this skill
Just watch Ts in their classrooms, they are leading the Ss & make adjustments all the time
A great leader indeed creates more leaders! https://t.co/zYrOm0kICN
A1 p2 But born leaders are best at growing and encouraging new leadership!
A1. I think the strongest leaders are reflective..taking what they hear&see and working with others to make things better.
Welcome Susan! Glad you could join both
A2 But what is leadership without connection? Programs are a means to an end, connection=key to success https://t.co/H5zkrSzDAX
Q2: How do we move from viewing leadership as a model/program to an expression of connection? https://t.co/QP6MDHwgQE
A1: Leading with logic alone is not leading at all. Robots/technocrats can logic but can't FEEL
Michele from NY. 20+ year spec ed tchr who still learns from and is inspired by the leadership dialog!
Candy from CA jumping in this morning!
Good morning Michael! So glad you could be here today with both and
Agreed! Reflection is SO important. https://t.co/bePG12RjbT
A1. I think the strongest leaders are reflective..taking what they hear&see and working with others to make things better.
A1: leadership is not learned , management & facilitating is learned! Leaders are cut from different cloth! Boom!
I agree- and along with being a keen observer- be a great listener- impulsiveness can be a prob
A2: Leading program implementation can create incremental change. Investing in your people can create revolutionary change.
Yes! Like teaching...if you say you've stopped learning how to be a leader.. leave now! https://t.co/hFyBfNGiGD
Always enjoy those leaders that take the steps to learn. They don't wait for the skills to come to them. They go after them
A2: Sincere effort to focus on relationship building, communication and genuine concern for others with leaders
not making it today... Daddy duty taking over. Have a good one.
A2: Leadership is simply influence - without connections, is there influence?
Reflection is critical for growth and improves our intuition for the future. https://t.co/JewBISVk3W
A1: I believe leadership and learning happen w/ Reflection. The more reflection, the more effective.
A1 Leadership can be developed and refined, but leaders are "born" with the gift.
A1 Every leader can always get better! No one can depend soul on their instincts/talents. Bewared of the leader who does this!
A2: Leadership = Connections! Relationships matter.
A1 Both, sometimes those with instinct need to be taught how to trust their instinct.
A2)Find a mentor/be a mentor. Then, be the bridge. We learn/grow faster when we do it together.
A1 So true!! Leadership is NOT about being in-charge...but serving! https://t.co/fkl2kyUN3G
A1. You must have a servants heart which cannot be taught. Everything else can be taught with great mentoring
A1 it's not all learned. Have to be able to apply knowledge and if you don't have relationships there's nobody to lead
Good morning Elisabeth! Great to see you today as always.
A1: I am learning every day to serve my school better tomorrow through a strong PLN Must always be learning
Q2 Keeping leadership & decisions focused on what's best 4 kids. Tough sometimes but everything should be driven by that
Ooh... sounds interesting, I might jump in!
I think that's where instinct comes in - not all Ts leaders make school leaders. https://t.co/vyMNdLdnIk
A1: Leadership is learned, but strong teachers make strong leaders. Leading classroom, leading school-same skills.
Which shows leadership in its own sense! :)
A2 Great leadership is about
empathy
emotion
passion
courage
love
care
patience
heart work
I think this comes down to strong people.
A1: Great question! Both. I feel some are born with leadership talents and some learn/refine their skills as they go
A2: Building relationships, allowing others to take on more responsibility, reflecting, and building PLNs.
A2: Need to lead with questions, get others input & feedback to lead the team#WeLeadEd
Laurie HS teacher from Cen Cal. Coffee, blankie, iPad, Twitter.
A2: People have to be FIRST in every situation. It's not about things, programs, initiatives, etc.
A2 leading what? Leading Who? How is it possible with put connections?
A1: Instinct and Emotional Intel- absolutely https://t.co/aDrfzx1gfA
A1: Instinct sure helps - always need on the spot adjusting to your plan & reading people
A1: Some are born w/ caring for the best of others & are natural born leaders. Through hard work leadership skills are built
A2) Understanding that it's not what we do, but how we do it to meet Ts and Ss needs
A2) I personally view it as a trait rather than a program.
A1: I think it's both, but great leaders routinely develop and refine their leadership by learning,reflecting...intentionality
A2: Break down the barriers! Easy to talk to leaders on but not in real life. Can't discuss without talking.
I love that phrase "investing in your people"
They are your resource. They are your schools future. https://t.co/awSRKsWYkK
A2: Leading program implementation can create incremental change. Investing in your people can create revolutionary change.
Welcome Michelle, so glad you are here today!
A2. Empowering T leaders over time by building on their strengths - passing torch to those who truly implement change
A2: We stop viewing leadership as a position and start looking at it as an experience.
My brotha! Welcome to and . Glad you got to connect to at this week!
Early mic drop!! https://t.co/KJ1rhVZnTB
A2: Leading program implementation can create incremental change. Investing in your people can create revolutionary change.
A1 Agree with all! These are skills that can & need to be taught: K12 AND univ.
Org'l involvement, outward focus, service r key.
A2: Providing many opportunities for Ts and staff to feel empowered to lead in various avenues in the school
leadership can be learned but the most effective leaders who start from a place of a desire to serve
We are in a business of learning. How can we lead if we aren't continually learning ourselves?
A2) We must have an intentional vision & focus on culture, which puts relationships as the foundation of leadership.
A2: Finding effective ways to empower and encourage other new leaders is important too. We mentality over Me.
A2) By looking at the skills and qualities of leaders everywhere: students, teachers, admins, our nation, the world.
A2: Communication is huge for a leader! What is that without the ability to connect...
A2: As a leader, putting yourself if the staff's shoes, do the work they do, build mutual respect and trust
A2-Programs come & go. Great leaders propel PEOPLE, empower them through their vision, lead by example, build others to lead
Hey, good morning! https://t.co/AyOnL6OW4q
Hey there! Great to see you both. So fantastic to connect more this morning!
Truth. https://t.co/jXRMOoxOLw
A2 Great leadership is about
empathy
emotion
passion
courage
love
care
patience
heart work
Matthew 23:11 - The greatest will serve. https://t.co/YN8gg6Afi3
A1 So true!! Leadership is NOT about being in-charge...but serving! https://t.co/fkl2kyUN3G
A1. You must have a servants heart which cannot be taught. Everything else can be taught with great mentoring
Yep. Can't focus on that enough. The people are what matter. They're what we're about.
I think we struggle with the term leadership - as a principal it seems more managerial than instructional
A2: Building a collaborative culture and the message that we are in this together.

Like 'life' instead of 'work'. Started using 'learning' instead of 'work'. Learning together
A3 Love all the insights re: vision to action. This is so key!
Change is always hard. Important for Ts/profs/Ss to be patient.
A3 Invite others 2 serve along with u, step out, take action, be willing to fail, but get up again!
