As a leader you need to know yourself and your values. Find a school that aligns with your

a personal commitment to be honest with yourself and your team at all times. Be

mistake, admit it, take responsibility for it, resolve it and learn from it. Always uphold your
word and your promises.

delegate accordingly. Empower them to take responsibility for tasks and projects. Be there
to coach them and make sure you praise them for what they achieve
Communicative, Collaborative and Connected

understand others. Connect with the world via blogging and social media, and follow
organisations relating to INTO international education. Collaborate with others virtually and
face-to-face to ensure the best decisions are made.
