    Leaders have to be good LISTENERS! #akedchat

    In reply to @WalterMuelling
  • WalterMuelling Feb 13 @ 11:08 PM EST
    A1 Sincerity. If a leader can't say "I'm sorry" or "I don't know" at the right times, it is very hard to respect them. #akedchat
  • Kate_Muelling Feb 13 @ 11:09 PM EST
    A1: The ability to see the best in others, and allocate resources to make the worst better. #akedchat
  • SheelerTech Feb 13 @ 11:09 PM EST
    A1. People are willing to follow them. They are consistent, fair and they work to make future leaders. #akedchat
  • Kate_Muelling Feb 13 @ 11:10 PM EST
    A1: Vulnerability is underrated, but so important in a leader. #akedchat

  • InspiredImpact Feb 13 @ 11:11 PM EST
    A1: Successful leaders develop successful leaders. #akedchat
  • Kate_Muelling Feb 13 @ 11:12 PM EST
    #akedchat Why lead if the end goal isn't serving others? I think a good leader will put others before themselves.
    In reply to @nick_schumacher

    A1: Really listen, know when to support and when to get out of the way, model and mentor #akedchat
  • InspiredImpact Feb 13 @ 11:14 PM EST
    Unfortunately I think some want to be leaders for the status. Don't necessarily serve.Doesn't make them successful. #akedchat

    Q2.2 Is Kindergarten too early to start building leadership skills? #akedchat
  • Kate_Muelling Feb 13 @ 11:16 PM EST
    #akedchat Hmm. Seems like the 'leadership' status isn't worth anything if no one wants to follow.
    In reply to @InspiredImpact
  • joerobison907 Feb 13 @ 11:16 PM EST
    A2.2 not if you're @spiraledu #akedchat
    In reply to @spiraledu

    or the pay increase. Don't be a leader if you're not going to raise everyone up! #akedchat
    In reply to @InspiredImpact, @Kate_Muelling
  • Kate_Muelling Feb 13 @ 11:17 PM EST
    A2.2 Kinder may be too LATE to start developing those skills. Essential skills of leadership don't have to be explicit. #akedchat
  • nick_schumacher Feb 13 @ 11:17 PM EST
    We have been looking at this. I will need to pick your brain for some ideas some time. #akedchat
