D raft of Leadership Skills Ranking-
1. Decision Making

2. Listening pg 34 "Being listened to carefully and listening carefully to others has an almost magical effect on what we say: issues and problems are held at arms length and examined from all sides, instead of being subjected to quick opinions and read solutions"

3. Problem-Solving 4. Resolving Conflict 5. Empowering Others pg 32 "All people yearn for vitality and purpose./Teachers become fully alive when their schools and districts provide them with opportunities for skillful participation, inquiry, dialogue, and reflection."

11. Visionary pg 51 Figure 5.2 *Clarify their own values and engage others in forming and adhering to a shared vision of schooling." pg. 53 #8 Create a shared vision.

12. Being Creative

I think this will be a good place for us to rank our leadership skills. Below I've made a section for each person. Under your name rank the skills from 1 to 12. Once we get everyone to rank the skills maybe then we can start a discussion. That discussion would probably be best placed in the "Discussion" tab right above this text. Does that work for everyone?
