Introduction

Today's school leaders have a vital role to play in identifying and nurturing talent, providing them with a breadth of opportunities to grow into the leaders of tomorrow.

As a headteacher, you play a key role in ensuring that you not only have the right leaders at the current time to provide a good service to children but also that you have clear processes in place to identify and develop leaders for the future.

This interactive guide looks at the importance of defining leadership roles and characteristics for success and how they can be represented on a generic leadership platform. It also considers the use of the leadership platform in identifying and developing talent as part of the succession planning process. The leadership platform is a powerful succession planning tool that helps clarify the size and shape of leadership roles, leadingto the identification of talent, the mapping of careers, communicating how the leadership of the school works, and testing out organisational designs of leadership.
