My first school in Sharjah, under SPEA, and its people
played a key role in shaping me as an international educator.
Building on that experience, a key lesson was understanding the
leadership among co-workers. The principal taught me the relevance of knowing
every staff member personally, from administrative to academic staff, as well
as the gardener to transportation staff, and the entire school community. I
learned to treat everyone inclusively, especially during cultural celebrations,
so that everyone feels valued and welcomed.
Furthermore, through these experiences, I found that trust
in leadership and mutual respect build strong foundations. Each person became a
pillar in the organization. Motivation, recognition, and appreciation not only
boost confidence but also help educators grow as team leaders, coordinators,
and collaborators. These lessons deepened my understanding of leadership's role
in building sustainable institutions.
Reflecting on these interconnected experiences, how would
you describe your own leadership style?
