Leadership Styles

Areas for Actionable Growth

Democratic/Participative: I involve the team in decisions, boosting motivation. Personality Type: Protagonist (ENFJ-A). I am defined by charisma, empathy, and idealism, driven by a desire to inspire others and make a positive impact.

• Embrace Productive Conflict: I can embrace disagreements as opportunities for better solutions, not threats to team harmony.
• Practice Direct Feedback: I want to develop a structured approach for giving direct, honest, and constructive criticism, ensuring accountability without sacrificing empathy.
• Protect Dissent: I must actively solicit and protect dissenting opinions to challenge the status quo and prevent the team from simply agreeing with the most charismatic voice.

• Motivator: I try to create a positive and productive atmosphere.
• Team Player: I enjoy forging meaningful connections with colleagues.
• Insightful: I seek to sense team emotions and anticipate needs.
• Communicator: I strive to clearly and passionately articulate ideas and goals.

How I support Staff

• Vision and Influence: I desire to set an inspiring vision for how technology can transform learning. My passion for educational technology makes it easier to help guide educators and students around common goals, such as adopting a new platform or rolling out a major training initiative.
• Empowering the Team: I naturally seek input from our team, allowing all parties involved to feel ownership over projects and decisions. This is ideal for instructional technology, where specialized knowledge is key, and participation can keep team members highly motivated.
• Team Harmony: I try to create a positive and productive team culture, using my empathy to mediate disagreements and ensure everyone feels heard and valued. I focus on bringing out the best expertise with all who have stakes involved.
