21. 21. Murgatroyds 7 Rules for Leadership Survival Forgiveness is easier to get than permission. You cannot cross a chasm in two small leaps. Bold is good. Be bold often, people get used to it. Stay within the rules but just! Never let a good crisis go to waste. Use them as the basis for innovation and change. The future is not a straight line from the past so bend the line often. Make your expectations clear and then empower and engage and let the team do the work. Think not distributed leadership, but renaissance leadership everywhere students, teachers, administration. If in doubt, trust your instincts the brain can often get in the way. Less is more.

25. 25. Your Top 10
26. 26. Global Top 10 Work-Life Balance for Leaders in School Systems. Sustaining meaningful engagement with teachers. Staying strategically focused don't sweat the small stuff! Finding the evidence base for decisions within the school and not being too concerned with PISA, TIMMS or other standardized measures over which teachers and schools have very little influence. What are the indicators you need to show that you are making progress and what predictive measures can you use? Building effective communities of practice networks locally, nationally and globally. Be a hub and a spoke.
27. 27. Finding and keeping a mentor, coach and guide no one can be a leader without help: asking for help when you need it is a sign of strength. Finding time to read and reflect. Most leaders subscribe to periodicals and buy books they don't read them. READ! Building leadership throughout the school and empowering teachers as leaders. Understanding your own leadership development needs. Remembering to celebrate, have fun and enjoy this work life is too short!
