Strength-based Leadership
How strength-based leadership can support a community of practice.....Strength-based leadership can support a community through positive guidance and focusing on one's strengths versus one's weaknesses. When in a position of leadership, we often lead by example. During that process if we focus on one's strengths and collaborate with other leaders with strengths in other areas we can form a great team of leaders. We can also show those that we mentor how to embrace one another's differences and how to promote each other's strengths. We live in a very diverse culture. No two people are alike or do things the in the same manner. Therefore we have to embrace the diversity and the successful collaboration of teams and leaders. If we focus on one's strengths they can teach others who are weak in those areas how to become stronger in those areas. Focusing on strength-based leadership provides a positive community of practicing effectively as leaders.

Diversity is very important! You are so correct is saying how important it is as teachers that we model how to accept each other and our differences. We need to model that diversity is something to embrace!
ReplyDeleteYou are so right when you say we should embrace one another's differences. So many times people will focus on those differences in a negative way instead of accepting people for who they are. If everyone were the same, our world would boar us to tears. I say "Thank God for diversity!"
ReplyDeleteI like how you comment on leaders with differnt strengths working together to form a team of leaders and how this shows other teachers how to work with differences. This will also allow the teacher leaders to learn other strengths that they can then bring back to their team.
