leslielehner Nov 6 @ 3:09 PM EST

A1: Leaders should be seen as human, too- relatable & approachable. This makes others feel comfortable & builds trust. #SafeSchoolsChat

BBDaneDell Nov 6 @ 3:09 PM EST

Humility allows for leaders to be vulnerable and grow. To have the empathy needed to understand those they serve and lead. #safeschoolschat

susankotch Nov 6 @ 3:09 PM EST

#safeschoolschat There is one obvious reason: modeling behavior.

DavisWelcome Nov 6 @ 3:07 PM EST

Q1: Why is it important for leaders to demonstrate humility? #SafeSchoolsChat

AdamBrownEDU Nov 6 @ 3:10 PM EST

A1. A leader puts all else before them to progress the greater good. #safeschoolschat

DavisWelcome Nov 6 @ 3:10 PM EST

Yes!!! #SafeSchoolsChat

In reply to @susankotch

JKatzaman Nov 6 @ 3:10 PM EST

A1 Leaders who act like they're better than the rest place an unnecessary chasm between them and their team. #SafeSchoolsChat

Amen! #SafeSchoolsChat

A1 Leaders who act like they're better than the rest place an unnecessary chasm between them and their team. #SafeSchoolsChat

whiteeducator Nov 6 @ 3:11 PM EST

A1: Impt. to show humility because you can't always be perfect. Need to take risks. And encourage team to do the same, too! #safeschoolschat

BBDaneDell Nov 6 @ 3:11 PM EST

If you are better than everyone in the place, it's time to find a new home. Time to learn and grow somewhere else. #safeschoolschat

JKatzaman Nov 6 @ 3:10 PM EST

A1 Leaders who act like they're better than the rest place an unnecessary chasm between them and their team. #SafeSchoolsChat

JessicaStacey25 Nov 6 @ 3:12 PM EST

A1. Shows that Ts are human, are approachable, & it helps open the door for trust/ relationships #safeschoolschat

susankotch Nov 6 @ 3:12 PM EST

Exactly. Showing it's okay to take risks, okay to be wrong, okay to say "Not sure - let me check." Human. #safeschoolschat

marci_minor Nov 6 @ 3:14 PM EST

A1: What she said @lesleylehner and showing that leadership means you are still looking to learn from others #SafeSchoolsChat

kimmykcollins Nov 6 @ 3:15 PM EST

A1 because we are all part of the team working together for the students on our building! No one is better than the other! #safeschoolschat

A leader needs to model humility because they "can " #SafeSchoolsChat

BBDaneDell Nov 6 @ 3:16 PM EST

if you can't learn from others youre no longer a leader. Youve stopped progressing & will soon be the follower #safeschoolschat

Q2: What are the pitfalls for an arrogant leader? #SafeSchoolsChat

AMitchell828 Nov 6 @ 3:16 PM EST

Love this!! It is so true. We need to model humility for our students. #safeschoolschat

In reply to @kimmykcollins

JKatzaman Nov 6 @ 3:18 PM EST

A2 Arrogant leaders will lose the support of their team and -- if they're paying attention -- their superiors. #SafeSchoolsChat

AMitchell828 Nov 6 @ 3:18 PM EST

A2 The entire building suffers Teachers and students don't feel supported. Low morale. High turnover. #safeschoolschat

BBDaneDell Nov 6 @ 3:18 PM EST

Arrogant leaders don't leave room for others to grow/shine. They can't do it all & eventually fail. Best people leave too. #safeschoolschat

susankotch Nov 6 @ 3:18 PM EST

I want a ldr I'd follow off a bridge b/c they've explained their path in a way I could buy into it. Talk to me, not at me. #safeschoolschat

AMitchell828 Nov 6 @ 3:14 PM EST

A1 It shows that we are all life-long learners.We can continue to grow even as adults. People feel safe to approach you. #safeschoolschat

FloradTeach Nov 6 @ 3:18 PM EST

A2 an unwelcoming environment, lack of a cohesive group, know all makes for an unfriendly place to work #SafeSchoolsChat

MrSmall215 Nov 6 @ 3:19 PM EST

A1: The moment you miss an opportunity to show humility, your staff loses respect for you... When that happens: doom #safeschoolschat

DavisWelcome Nov 6 @ 3:07 PM EST

Q1: Why is it important for leaders to demonstrate humility? #SafeSchoolsChat

whiteeducator Nov 6 @ 3:19 PM EST

A2: They think it's only about winning/their ways, rather than succeeding together for our Ss, staff, fams, school. #safeschoolschat

susankotch Nov 6 @ 3:19 PM EST

... and they "should". #safeschoolschat I agree, Victoria!

vsbradle Nov 6 @ 3:16 PM EST

vsbradle Nov 6 @ 3:19 PM EST

The pitfalls of arrogance can be devastating for the culture of the school. #SafeSchoolsChat

JessicaStacey25 Nov 6 @ 3:19 PM EST

A2. Arrogance makes them unapproachable, & people tend not to have much faith, trust, or respect in arrogant leaders #safeschoolschat

marci_minor Nov 6 @ 3:20 PM EST

A2: Another trusted person will be determined the leader by default, even if they don't have the title #SafeSchoolsChat

AdamBrownEDU Nov 6 @ 3:20 PM EST

A2. Everything #safeschoolschat

evsmomgen Nov 6 @ 3:20 PM EST

A2) Thinking they hold all the cards, have the only good ideas, the only plan to follow, etc. This excludes others' voice. #SafeSchoolsChat

Absolutely! #SafeSchoolsChat

In reply to @vsbradle

susankotch Nov 6 @ 3:20 PM EST

Pitfalls: A disgruntled group of minions who fight every decision, don't trust the path, don't want to give 100%. #safeschoolschat

BBDaneDell Nov 6 @ 3:21 PM EST

Arrogant leaders can literally make 1+1=0. Leadership isn't about being right, it's about multiplying those around you. #safeschoolschat

DavisWelcome Nov 6 @ 3:21 PM EST

Question 3 coming up..... #SafeSchoolsChat

kimmykcollins Nov 6 @ 3:21 PM EST

A2 High T turn over, lack of support, no respect from others, unwelcoming environment. Push back from other! Unproductive! #safeschoolschat

edu_taraw Nov 6 @ 3:21 PM EST

A2) An arrogant leader will lose respect, support, and credibility #safeschoolschat

leslielehner Nov 6 @ 3:21 PM EST

A2: Strong leaders buildup & empower others to lead, make ppl believe they CAN. Arrogance creates resentment & distrust. #safeschoolschat

DavisWelcome Nov 6 @ 3:22 PM EST

Yes. #SafeSchoolsChat

Pitfalls: A disgruntled group of minions who fight every decision, don't trust the path, don't want to give 100%. #safeschoolschat

FloradTeach Nov 6 @ 3:22 PM EST

A2 wouldn't want to work with an arrogant leader, don't think I would label that person a leader #SafeSchoolsChat

BBDaneDell Nov 6 @ 3:22 PM EST

Love this. Real leaders always rise to the top. Lead through power & watch someone else become the leader through service. #safeschoolschat

marci_minor Nov 6 @ 3:20 PM EST

A2: Another trusted person will be determined the leader by default, even if they don't have the title #SafeSchoolsChat

MrSmall215 Nov 6 @ 3:23 PM EST

A good leader surrounds themselves with good people who may know the things he may not. #safeschoolschat

BBDaneDell Nov 6 @ 3:25 PM EST
