A quick list of things we might expect from a manager?
It might include
- Self organisation,
- Timely and clear communication,
- Ability to decide, defer, prioritise,
- Ability to delegate and avoid blame when delegation doesn’t work…
These are a few of my favourite things – whether I see them in myself or not.
But what about softer skills, the things that just won’t make it into staff appraisal forms, or applications for promotion or advancement?
Things like
- Being around;
- GSOH;
- Generosity of time
- Co-construction of solutions;
- Modelling good behaviours?
How do they fit into “successful co-ordination, support, supervision, management and/or mentoring of others in relation to teaching and learning”?

Plenty of things that people really like don’t get valued by systems.
How do we nurture these, how do we value them? What price the time for a coffee?
