Education

For and educator to create magic in the classroom, they have to be equally adept at being a VISIONARY, DESIGNER, ACTIONER & COLLABORATOR, for that is what the learner wants. As they graduate to doing this for the school, they may have to get help from others to ensure that at the most complex level, the best educator plays any of the 4 roles from the level of EXPERT, in terms of competence. In the classroom, they have to be all 4. Some of the magic for the educator, can be derived from going outside their normal network, outside their normal education colleagues, and on the TED.com video on the presentation, Chris does a good job of describing this...

Merlin, The King’s Advisor

• “The best thing for being sad," replied Merlin, beginning to puff and blow, "is to learn something. That's the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then — to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. Learning is the only thing for you. Look what a lot of things there are to learn.”

• ― T.H. White, The Once and Future King

(W)hole Leadership

Why is the W in brackets?

No leader can be whole, yet every leader contains the essence of integrative

leadership within him or her.

Life experiences, education, upbringing and personal style all cause us to

develop certain elements of leadership, while remaining less developed in

others. Different successful leaders therefore look different. This is why some

commentators suggest that there is no such thing as a universal leadership

framework.

International research demonstrates that there is indeed a unified framework

of best practices for leadership, but that no individual can be highly

developed in all facets of leadership. Instead, we are all only partially

developed as leaders – this is why Whole Leadership is per definition a team

activity.

As an individual we can thus only be (W)hole – with certain holes.
