Sustaining Resilience in Leadership by Julia Steward
As a facilitator of a national leadership programme for experienced headteachers, Julia Steward noticed how frequently competent and apparently confident headteachers admitted to their fear of being 'found out'. Along with the fear of being found out, it seemed, was a twin fear of anyone finding out that they worried about being found out. The fear was compounded by a sense of isolation: each one imagined everyone else was feeling supremely confident. Julia's excellent book reassures leaders at all levels in schools that they are not alone, and offers practical advice and support to help readers sustain the physical and mental resilience needed to allow themselves and others to thrive. The book is based on Julia's experience of working with hundreds of leaders, most of who have been working in schools, along with insights from her academic research, reading, and own experiences of life and leadership. Exercises, designed to support the reader to reflect on ways in which they can develop more helpful habits to sustain their own resilience, are given throughout.
Julia Steward led a large team of consultants to implement the National Professional Qualification for Headship across the whole of the South West of England. In addition to working extensively with schools, she designed and facilitated bespoke leadership and team development experiences and support individuals through 1:1 coaching. She is an experienced group facilitator and holds qualifications in counselling and a diploma in coaching awarded by the Institute of Leadership and Management. She has an ongoing research interest in developing and sustaining resilience for school leadership and has written extensively on the subject.
