Create a great school vision – Free e-course

Great leaders create a deeply compelling vision – one which resonates at a deeper level with the team and with those who come into contact with it. It provides purpose to everything they do, it guides their decisions and it energises the team.

A vision is also a necessary courtesy of leadership. If you want your team to follow you, then you really need to tell them where you’re going if you want them on your bus.

Did you know the word ‘compelling’ comes from the Latin: put in a different section/make separate. ‘Com’ which means ‘together’, ‘Pellere’ which means ‘to drive’, so literally, ‘compellere’ means ‘to drive together’, and that is exactly what a vision should do; it should mobilise and inspire your team to drive towards your vision together. A vision is a bit like a banner to march behind – it states where you are going and why.

As leaders, we’re often frustrated that people have not bought into our vision, but the problem often unknowingly starts with us because so many visions are not clear enough to let people decide if they want to come on the journey.

If you want your school to be outstanding, you need to get your vision in shape – a bad one does little for you, but a great one gets your team on your bus and chomping at the bit to achieve it.

Our freeCreate a great vision’ e-course can help you!

You’ll learn:

  1. Is your vision working? A simple acid test to find out.
  2. Why is a vision so important (why you can’t just ‘tick the box’ of having one)
  3. Who should write your vision
  4. The difference between a vision and mission
  5. The most common mistakes made in visions

And all in bite size chunks (5 mins or less for each part) over the next 2 weeks because I know how busy school life is.
