Middle Leaders

Testimonials
“It’s been so valuable, and it’s really opened my eyes to the things that aren’t formally taught but are learned through experience along the way. I’ve come away with a ton of ideas and a much clearer sense of how to make a bigger impact with my team – even from a teacher role. Everyone involved in delivering the program has been an encouraging and positive voice throughout the whole semester”
“I have learnt so much about leadership and am grateful for the experience. The sharing opportunities were extremely valuable and affirming to know that other people experience similar things (e.g. wanting decisions made yesterday but know that rushing decisions isn’t helpful long term). “
“I found this course so beneficial – particularly the Leadership Challenge activity which required me to reflect on my Emotional Intelligence survey mid-year and explore how to apply the theoretical models of leadership that we covered in the course. ”
“This course has been fantastic for me. I’ve been on a steep learning curve in leadership and I’ve found this course incredibly practical and useful in real time. It also aligns so closely with my own values—leading with emotional intelligence and empathy while staying firm on what’s important and where the school needs to grow. Thank-you. ”
“I truly appreciated how well the course was organised. The depth of knowledge provided in the key areas I needed was presented in a way that was applicable to various aspects of managing my team. The highlight for me was the one-on-one coaching I received; it was invaluable in helping me establish effective processes for working with specific staff members in challenging situations. ”
Our LEAD-Q model
The LEAD-Q Leadership Program is an evidence-based and competency driven process of individual leadership development. Focused on building individual capability to lead and manage both people and processes, the program draws from psychological concepts to highlight the importance of transformational leadership.
LEAD-Q stands for LEADERSHIP EFFICACY AND DEVELOPMENT QUOTIENT and is supported by a comprehensive competency matrix which provides purposeful direction and allows leaders to measure their progress. Competencies have been mapped to AITSL Leadership Profiles and outline how to unlock leaders’ potential to perform at the highest level.
