Introduction to the Connected Leader Blog Series

In education, a leader needs to be authoritative and have all the answers, right? Let’s pause
for a second and try again. As Christians, we acknowledge Jesus as the ultimate servant
leader, offering Himself for the atonement of our sins. How can we even try to turn our
Christian values into effective, thriving leadership styles?


At TeamOptix, we believe that the connected leader is able to create a psychologically safe
environment to support and sustain collective leadership.


To do this, we must first identify the zombie leadership styles that thwart us from creating this environment. Only then can we slay the zombies, freeing us to become the best leaders that we can be. And this is where TeamOptix can step in to explore the appropriate coaching
practices and skills to achieve this in your institution.


We invite you to join our session at the upcoming CESA Symposium in Denver, CO, on ‘The Connected Leader’ presented by Dr William Percy, EVP at TeamOptix and Erik Ellefsen, Director of Networks and Improvement at Baylor University.


To help you prepare for this, in our four-part blog series, we’ll look at:


1. Engagement and Happiness: A Path to Sustainable Success
2. Superhero Leadership as a Zombie-like Behaviour and How This Can Impact
Engagement
3. Don’t Do as I Say, Do as I Do – Creating Followership
4. How Can Positive Psychology Help Slay Zombies?
