Aims Recap Team Building How are these incorporated within the early years ? Activities

Leader of leaders Working in an early years setting whether it is large or small involves many interactions between adults …These maybe formal or informal. But these interactions are regarded as the building blocks of the service and outcome of the service. Rodd, J. 1998 leadership in Early Childhood : The pathway to Professionalism, 2nd edn. Bukingham: Open University press

Draw a chart or diagrammatic representation showing: The core team – those you work with on a daily or regular basis The wider team – those you come into contact with but not necessarily on a daily basis Your position within the team

How would you describe your working relationships with the adults you have included in your chart?

Reflection Point Think about some of the changes you have been involved in. Have they been internal or external? Were they coercive or collaborative? Have they been welcomed or resisted? How has the impact of change been monitored?
