2. ATL. The Education Union www.new2teaching.org.uk Leadership Why should anyone be led by you? Analyse your personality and your strengths. Identify them and believe in them.

3. ATL. The Education Union www.new2teaching.org.uk Leadership Inspirational leaders share four unexpected qualities: 1.They selectively show their weaknesses. 2.They rely heavily on intuition to gauge the appropriate timing and course of their actions 3.They manage employees with tough empathy 4.They reveal their differences (Robert Goffee and Gareth Jones, Harvard Business Review)

4. ATL. The Education Union www.new2teaching.org.uk Leadership Management is about coping with complexity…. Leadership, by contrast, is about coping with change John K Potter, What Leaders really do, Harvard)

5. ATL. The Education Union www.new2teaching.org.uk Policy ….what unions need to do is to inspire the unorganised with confidence that the world of work can and should be better, that an accelerating pace of change may be unavoidable as markets integrate and competition intensifies but that workers can still influence the process. Unions need to establish themselves as institutions that can help people navigate the shoals of a more challenging world of work (Raising Lazarus, The Future of Organised Labour – David Coates – The Fabian Society)

6. ATL. The Education Union www.new2teaching.org.uk Policy ATL has to tell members an aspirational story. They do not want endlessly to be in opposition. We have to tell them that they can join in and get on. (Mary Bousted)

7. ATL. The Education Union www.new2teaching.org.uk Organising & Recruitment Times of change test us. And this is emphatically a time of great change. The structure of developed economies is unrecognisable even from my childhood. Employment has declined rapidly in the heartlands of the movement, in manufacturing, mining, utilities and the public sector. Fading industries are heavily unionised. Emerging industries are not. The fortunes of the trade union movement have tracked this change, rather than bucked it. Membership plummeted from almost half the workforce in 1980, after steady growth from 1950, to a third in 2000. (Tony Blair – speech to Unions 21)

8. ATL. The Education Union www.new2teaching.org.uk Organising & Recruitment In 1979 the TUC had more than 12 million members. It now has 6.4 million In 1979 union density stood at 49% and collective agreements covered pay and conditions of about 75% of the workforce: The comparable figures now are 28.8% and 35% (and these are largely sustained by the public sector which has 58.8% density; 71.6% coverage than the private sector which has 17.2% density; 20.5% coverage).

9. ATL. The Education Union www.new2teaching.org.uk Organising & Recruitment The renewed emphasis on union organising in the UK and the USA for example has been extensively discussed….but significant internal restructuring to free up organising resources has to date been observed in only a minority of unions. (Labour Movement Revitalization? A Comparative Perspective. Professor John Kelly, Birkbeck College, London)

10. ATL. The Education Union www.new2teaching.org.uk Organising for what? David Coates, Raising Lazarus The key questions for Labour and the unions to answer are: what constitutes ‘good work’; how can we get more of it in the UK?; and what role do unions play in creating sustainable, high quality jobs? (David Coates, Raising Lazarus)

15. ATL. The Education Union www.new2teaching.org.uk On Being a Woman Trade unions are one of the last bastions of chauvinism Women trade union leaders ‘play’ this in different ways There is no one right answer but Women will not succeed if they merely copy the worst behaviour of the men – A quality of effective leaders is that they capitalise on what’s unique about themselves. Using these differences to great advantage is the most important leadership qualifications.

16. ATL. The Education Union www.new2teaching.org.uk On Being a Woman SO, WHAT, AS WOMEN, CAN WE DO DIFFERENTLY? WHAT EXPERIENCES CAN WE BRING TO SUSTAIN AND DEVELOP OUR LEADERSHIP? WHAT QUALITIES DO WE WANT TO DISPLAY AS LEADERS? WHAT EFFECT DO WE WANT TO HAVE ON THOSE WE LEAD?
