Gary Marx, author of Twenty-One Trends for the 21st Century, exhorts school leaders to take the offensive rather than holding on to the status quo. Marx surveyed people from several parts of the world, asking them, "What words would you use to describe a future-focused leader?"
These are among the phrases they provided: creative, imaginative, a clarifier, future-oriented, a generalist, interdependent, interested, conceptual and brainy, teacher, mobilizer, implementer, earned respect, exhibited endurance, a mentor, thoughtful, a problem-solver, a coordinator of talent and energy, genuinely interested in all people. Also, genuine, not pretentious, nurturer, collegial, a sense of humor, empathetic, not arrogant, and enjoys complexity and constant change.
