A1: authentic is real, actions speak louder than words, walk the talk!
Great to be here! Elisabeth from NY joining in for another epic !
A1 Each interaction is an opportunity to help. To serve. That's my definition of leadership. Ask "What can I give?"
A1 .From the word "go" everyone should be able to see your authentic self. Your colleagues need to know who you are.
A1 transparency is critical and authenticity is obvious. To be present and genuinely care make impressions!

A1: building relationships and cultivating them is a huge part of creating your credibility-

Sam Rangel - Middle School A.P.
Q1: Every interaction with people is an opportunity to display authentic leadership. How so? https://t.co/oiLxh4nTY4
people long to connect with authentic leaders.
A1 Every interaction should focus on "How can I help you reach your potential?"

A1 Being authentic/vulnerable allows us to be compassionate, courageous and to connect
Hey there, Teresa! Hope you enjoyed your walk!
A1.True leadership isn't displayed when you know answers, its when you don't know them that your authentic self shines through

Good morn Anabel from NC. I believe leadership is about empowerment - about speaking life into others. https://t.co/jt35HeRXSZ
Integrity is the foundation on which all leaders must build. https://t.co/FtI0ajYvY6
A1: Everyone is watching a leader. Never take the role lightly and always act with integrity.

Reading sooo many books or trying to 😊my pile and Amazon bill growing https://t.co/vjaogaTBOC
Loving the book too! Also reading Launch BOTH are excellent!
A1: by building relationships through all encounters you model the vision of the school. Make your encounters matter.
Absolutely, . There are enough politics in education, schools need authentic leaders who are genuine and transparent.
I agree. Show others they can trust you & you have built the foundation
Agreed, we always talk about hiring "our kind of people," I can help you be a better teacher, I cannot make you love kids
Well said. It's critical to remember all actions are being watched.
YES! these seemingly small moments have greater impact than big grand actions-relationships first https://t.co/FACfmPFBWX
A1) Give your undivided attention...no devices, no multitasking, no thinking about your response...attend & listen.

Good morning, ! Chi, Acad Dean & Teacher from FL, excited to join in.
Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose.
The older I become the less tolerant I am of anything other than authenticity.
A1 listen and be straight even if it's not the answer they are looking for, everyone at least wants to have their voice heard
A1: Listen for understanding, add value, be proactive & inspire others to lead.
A1: Being authentic means connecting with people from the heart. It could mean honesty, warmth, vulnerability, imperfection.
A1: In a 🌎 full of false perception, our belonging instinct craves genuine connections. Leaders set this tone.
A1: non-verbal language speaks VOLUMES, sometimes more than what is said
A1 Every encounter is a connection, for you to share yourself, and learn from the other. L-ship comes fr that circle of sharing.
A1-Great leaders walk the walk and talk the talk. Sometimes actions speak louder than words
breaking that trust and hurting a relationship is more difficult to mend if they see you not modeling the vision.
By listening first, speaking second, and letting others share their knowledge
Hi Heidi. Great to be back. I've not been as active on twitter lately
Relationships are key! https://t.co/mejKBocdXN
A1 Building relationships is a cornerstone to authentic leadership. Be aware of potential power of every contact.
A1.Your small interactions may be the most valuable in identifying authentic leadership. How you lead when ppl aren't watching.
Character. Leadership. Integrity. Passion. You live it everyday
A1) On many occasions ppl do not remember what you did, they remember how you treated them & made them feel.
Being "real" is a choice- sometimes a risk but benefits outweigh risks
A1: every interaction provides opportunities to build rapport & strengthen relationships; visibility shows ur invested
True. Creating a strong culture builds a sense of authenticity in a district/building
A1: We are all social beings & so everyone can see when you're fake. Be authentic w all interactions https://t.co/DtJfTPoCEs
Q1: Every interaction with people is an opportunity to display authentic leadership. How so? https://t.co/Ta39IAlw3L
A1: Every little thing matters. What we say, what we do and how we carry ourselves speak volumes to what we care about.
Listen intently to both personal and professional concerns. Remember, they're people, not just employees. Lift up others.
A1 every interaction is an opportunity 2 listen, share, learn, lead with integrity, reflect. Always b mindful of relationships
A1: Seek first to understand, then to be understood.
A1) I think anytime you can genuinely laugh with those you are leading is a time when they're experiencing the real you.
I had an improv coach that who said; "If your drinking your coffee they don't have your undivided attention"
A1.2: Every time you interact you can show people you love them for who they are not what they do
So true! Thinking and helping others shows dedication and strong leadership. https://t.co/gsp4O0WUbG
A1) Being more interested in that person than you are yourself. Listen to their ideas, dont preach yours https://t.co/VBbbeI5CEB
Q1: Every interaction with people is an opportunity to display authentic leadership. How so? https://t.co/CFVUl2y8LS
This is such an important thing to keep in mind.
A1) being authentic means ensuring that you check own leadership intentions constantly. Is this "best for others, kids, etc.?"
A1: Every interaction is a chance to leave people better than you found them. People cross paths for many reasons. .
And trust isn't built in a day, but through consistent interactions that demonstrate integrity.
quiet actions often drown out loud proclamations-both positive&negative-be intentional & be authentic https://t.co/dhjiCFh4TS
A1: authentic is real, actions speak louder than words, walk the talk!
James, science educator from jumping for a little bit.
Something that we need to help instill in our students!!!
A1) Building positive relationships, interacting with staff daily will show your character as a leader. Be visible! Be honest!
They also "talk the walk " https://t.co/SZip8mAwnE
A1-Great leaders walk the walk and talk the talk. Sometimes actions speak louder than words
Jeremy from CT. Looks like a great topic for anybody, no?
This is huge...always the little things that matter most...& truest test of someone walking the talk! https://t.co/tWgHyzH6uK
A1.Your small interactions may be the most valuable in identifying authentic leadership. How you lead when ppl aren't watching.
My supervisor always says to remember the unintended consequences in all actions too. https://t.co/Rt0LKSnyd9
A1 Building relationships is a cornerstone to authentic leadership. Be aware of potential power of every contact.
A1: Daily individual conversations are what determine whether people listen to a leader when addressing a much larger group.
A1: Every interaction is an opp to lead by example. What's more authentic than that :)
A1: Know your core values. Know your vision. Don't compromise them.
This is so important but so easily forgotten.
A1-Most can see through people when they say one thing yet do the other. Honesty plays big.
Great point here. People can't connect with leaders they don't see. https://t.co/ntRZwiQUMw
A1: every interaction provides opportunities to build rapport & strengthen relationships; visibility shows ur invested
A1: From the beginning you should display the same type of interactions each time by being open and authentic with your staff
Q2 Coming up in 1 minute...
Model what "loving the children" should look like, what "all in" to OUR school looks like. Actions >>> words.
Begins with making purposeful investments in our people, so their own leadership capacity will grow
Listen to understand rather than to form a response. https://t.co/j8I9ukrjEq
A1 Listen with empathy, hear other perspectives, make every interaction learning opportunity
Agreed. Same w/ anything in life - it takes time, but needs to be consistent over time
Consistent interactions- Yes! https://t.co/AuA1KMIQIn
And trust isn't built in a day, but through consistent interactions that demonstrate integrity.
A1: I know it's always said......but leave the ego and "I am the expert." attitude at the door! (or even better-home)
this is so true! How you engage( where you sit, facial expressions? is equally as imp. As what you share!
Every interaction is either strengthening or weakening a bridge. Recognizing this helps me to choose my words.
A1: Everything has to be relational first...before it can be functional
says trust is built like dropping marbles in a jar, one-at-a-time.
A1: Leaders build trust. If we are not consistent in our interactions, we lose trust.
Visibility and honesty. Great, common sense perspective. https://t.co/1Drl6Alaew
A1) Building positive relationships, interacting with staff daily will show your character as a leader. Be visible! Be honest!
We are all leaders of something!
I think of this every time I am walking down the hallways.
Truth! authentic leaders know what they don't know & surround themselves with people who do https://t.co/gJNrhm1BV9
A1.True leadership isn't displayed when you know answers, its when you don't know them that your authentic self shines through
I agree...but anything less than real is a waste of valuable time. https://t.co/PPIFERub6f
Being "real" is a choice- sometimes a risk but benefits outweigh risks
You're right , way too many egos already in the building, admin egos shouldn't be one of them.
Yes! Everyone makes an impact & leaves an imprint on others.
. Yes, be the storyteller that shares empowerment of people
Humor is a powerful connector!
Ask questions of them. Show an unsolicited interest in them as people and professionals. Show them that you care.
Love this! Every interaction counts. We need to be cognizant of how we approach others and communicate.
True, we are all leaders each day. Let staff be independent & take risks
So true. Impossible to know your impact on others. Don't miss an opportunity to make someones load a little lighter.
Hey there, Helen from Houston jumping in late
A1) How you treat others is . When you listen, demonstrate empathy, you grow. Leaders grow. https://t.co/da7UNvf0Yu
Q1: Every interaction with people is an opportunity to display authentic leadership. How so? https://t.co/Ta39IAlw3L
A1 each interaction is a chance to truly listen to needs of the people you serve. Then more able to determine the real message
Beautifully put! "What can I give?" https://t.co/qF4AGyYCmq
A1 Each interaction is an opportunity to help. To serve. That's my definition of leadership. Ask "What can I give?"
A1 Simple, thoughtful conversations influence positive changes more often than meetings filled with agenda items.
Missing my tribe this morning, but day 1 potty training is underway for this guy!
Have a great weekend! https://t.co/x7tqgTlS9c
Yes! There's power in eye contact. Get off the screens when in a conversation. https://t.co/Ip24zs5Zgj
A1) Give your undivided attention...no devices, no multitasking, no thinking about your response...attend & listen.
Not only surround, but know how to step down and be quiet when someone else should take the reigns.
non verbal also often more prone to misinterpretation than verbal, important to be mindful of it.
A1) Everyone is watching your leadership walk. Being truly authentic means doing what is right. https://t.co/5Xl8xODrkV
A1: We must humanize leadership. Listen to learn. People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care.
A1 Every situation is a chance to show if you are a leader, if people can trust you, if others will be inspired to follow you.
A2: We need someone who buys into the culture 1st...we are not here to be isolated islands...we do better together w OUR kids!
A2) Start with "give an example" or "tell about a time."
You said it! https://t.co/ciAJmLMxwR
A1: I know it's always said......but leave the ego and "I am the expert." attitude at the door! (or even better-home)
A1 it is about construction of relationships and being a clear communicator
Jumping in late! Happy to join for a bit
A2: I focus on relationships & environment - if you don't have both, the "X's & O's" of education don't matter
A2: ask them why they want to be a teacher (no cliche answers) and what being a teacher who's a real Lifechanger encompasses.
exactly-the smartest person in the room is often the room https://t.co/N6CM6vysEe
Not only surround, but know how to step down and be quiet when someone else should take the reigns.
One of our questions is quite simple but can hold great information - "what can you bring to our staff?" So many possibilities.
A2. Most questions aren't content. We can teach skill, will is harder.
. And sometimes with coffee and donuts
A1 I think authentic leadership is about helping others reache their full potential themselves
A1: have adopted the motto of positivity, visibility & trust w/ each interaction. 1 door & T at a time! https://t.co/KLIlhGuHPb
Q1: Every interaction with people is an opportunity to display authentic leadership. How so? https://t.co/oiLxh4nTY4
A2 developed this for our team to talk strengths, discuss ed philosophy, how adult learners learn best & give opps to show work
A1) simply an opportunity to be of service. Could just be the gift of listening with purpose and/or smiling
Ask questions about intent, purpose, and actions other than pedagogy. Seek to reveal the true educator. https://t.co/QSWTxnZ7Dr
Kids always. need to be at forefront.The answer 2 our "why" needs to include children or Ss https://t.co/QvjdxFnF04
A1) being authentic means ensuring that you check own leadership intentions constantly. Is this "best for others, kids, etc.?"
Start everyday with a smile. It's contagious.
A2: We ask few, if any, content questions - our questions relate to how they would handle situations and treat kids
A1: Sometimes I get caught up in the moment and have to remind myself it is about interactions....not reaction.
A2 I want to learn if they have ability to truly connect-to Ss and colleagues.
A2: provide situational scenarios. Challenge candidate to talk through what they would do. Bring them into a day in your school.
A2: I want to know how they form relationships, how they connect with others, and what they do to support their own learning.
A2: Ask about most powerful moment as an educator. If they are passionate, you will SEE it in their story.
Already trending the greatness today with your spot on leadership insights!
Oskar from Minneapolis.1st time on Hi all
A2: My go to Q is "what is the single most important thing to you as an educator?" I want to hear abt relationship bldg. Period.
A2-Like to ask questions on collaboration with others. How can they help a team grow
A2: put down the questions after a bit and really get to know the person. What about education makes them passionate?
A2: One of our questions is quite simple but can hold great information - "what can you bring to our staff?"
A2: mindset, philosophy, vision, mission, goals
A2: I want to see their heart, because that is where the passion will be.
A2. We use Qs that get to the "relationship" facet. Assessing For learning and Personality traits.
A2) One of my favorite questions - "How do others know you've reached your stress level & how do you manage that stress?"
A1:Always having a positive attitude, growth mindset, and not afraid of taking risks to model being a true leader.
Like this!! https://t.co/qZ84MyZ5nL
A2: I want to know how they form relationships, how they connect with others, and what they do to support their own learning.
A2: Consider taking the candidate on an extended observation - 1-2 hours - of classrooms. Ask 1 question: What did you notice?
A1 When listening, stop. Stop working on computer, stop looking around. Really listen. That's what great leaders do.
A2: ask THEM what roles teachers should take beyond teaching, assessing, & content. Hopefully, they speak from the heart.
A2 I think we need to get creative and question for values and ask them to be demonstrated. You can't teach the right fit
Welcome Oskar! Great to have you with the tribe today. Jump on in.
A2: I'm looking @ their ❤️, what's their passion, & what keeps them serving everyday
A2. In your experience; give an example; how would you handle _____ and how is that unique to you?
A2: I ask teachers to tell me about their experience in school. I get an idea of their paradigm and what they expect
but has something to add to the culture too?
A2) This is my favorite question to ask in interviews. It gets to the core of what people value. https://t.co/gPPWsoSAiT
Any interviewee can answer Qs about planning or management, but them explaining a time they overcame an obstacle tells you more.
A2. Mock lesson/task-then feedback on the mock lesson/task. How Es react to feedback tells volumes.
A2.2: We remind ourselves after interviews - we can help them be a better teacher, we can't make them have passion and love kids
A2 Get to know them..what drives or motivates those within your organization can help you engage with other educators
A2: Scenarios, Simulations, and Performance Tasks
A1 2reason you interaction shows that you are independent of circumstances & interdependent in leading forward into union goals
Love this 💥💥 https://t.co/li54f8s1gu
A2 developed this for our team to talk strengths, discuss ed philosophy, how adult learners learn best & give opps to show work
This is so true, interviews are a dialogue more than a prescribed exercise.
Good examples here https://t.co/OAX0C3e3fR
A2: I want to know how they form relationships, how they connect with others, and what they do to support their own learning.
great Q indeed. Got to get the core of people not just their skills.
Great experience that would reveal what they value through observation. Great idea, Doug! https://t.co/SkAWKJ3qQH
A2: Consider taking the candidate on an extended observation - 1-2 hours - of classrooms. Ask 1 question: What did you notice?
A2) I've had the opportunity to bring in finalists and watch them teach a lesson to students.
A1: Every interaction is an 'opportunity' a chance to engage, listen, empathize, understand, and build the relationship!
A2: What does the person ask the interviewer? What kinds of questions do they want answers to?
Yes,check every decision with your philosophy to see if it's in line. Helps keep a strong culture
A2-I want to know where they see themselves down the road. Are they willing to grow and change.
