The majority of staff/team
exhibit motivation and
optimism led by the
leader. The majority of
the staff/team believes
that the

school/department/secti
on will reach agreed goals
and targets.

The leader has tapped into

specific talents and skills of
certain staff/team
members and stakeholders
around areas of need in
order to create a

school/department/
section that brings value
to the community.

Leadership succession has

been planned and
potential candidates
identified. Some quality
support programmes are
in place.

Motivation and inspiration

are evident in some
factions of the

school/department/
section community. The
leader believes that some
aspects of the vision and
mission will be realized.

The leader understands

the needs of the
community and has
implemented some
processes and programs
that are enhancing the
viability and sustainability
of the

school/department/secti
on. This has yet to have
an impact of the
community as a whole.
Leadership succession has
been considered and

Very Weak

The leader has allowed

staffing and resourcing to
become inadequate, and
the deficiencies are having
an impact on student
progress.
Motivation and inspiration
are minimal due to the
lack of the leaders
optimism that agreed-to
goals and targets can be
reached.

Motivation and inspiration

is very limited within the
staff/team. The leader is
not doing anything to
address these low
engagement levels.

Leadership acknowledges
that there are needs that
must be addressed, but as
yet, has not tapped into
the talents and skills of all
stakeholders that would
bring value to the
community.

There is limited evidence

that the leader has
considered the talents,
skills and qualities of
others.

Leadership succession has

been considered and
potential candidates
identified. This practice is
not consistent throughout
the school. Staff receive
limited training in
preparation for
successional leadership
roles.
