Keystone Academy Trust Leadership Values and Behaviours
Leaders are owners. They think long term and don’t sacrifice long-term value for short-term results. They act on behalf of the entire Academy Trust beyond just their own team. They never say ‘That’s not my job’.
Leader’s expect and require innovation and invention from their teams and always find ways to simplify. They are externally aware, look for new ideas from everywhere, and are not limited by ‘not invented here’.
Leaders operate at all levels, stay connected to the details and audit frequently. No task is beneath them.
Leaders are obligated to respectfully challenge decisions when they disagree, even when doing so is uncomfortable or exhausting. Leaders have conviction and are tenacious. They do not compromise for the sake of social cohesion. Once a decision is determined, they commit wholly.
Leaders focus on the key inputs for the trust and deliver them with the right quality and in a timely fashion. Despite setbacks, they rise to the occasion and never settle.
Leaders raise the performance bar with everything they do. They recognise exceptional talent, and willingly move them throughout the organisation. Leaders develop leaders and take seriously their role in coaching others.
