Turn understanding into focused action
The Lead stage of the Everyone Succeeds Leadership Cycle helps you move from insight to implementation. It gives you the structure and tools to translate what you know about great leadership into clear goals, disciplined routines, and measurable progress across your school.
This stage is about direction and delivery. It aligns people around shared priorities, builds momentum through simple, repeatable tools, and ensures that improvement is both purposeful and sustainable.
The 90-day planner turns strategy into action. It helps leaders define a small number of ambitious outcomes, identify the lead measures that predict success, and plan the weekly actions that drive improvement. The structure keeps teams focused, accountable, and moving forward together.
The scenario finder helps you identify the right leadership behaviours for real-world challenges. It connects common school situations to the 54 leadership behaviours, with clear explanations of why each behaviour matters and how to begin. Each scenario offers a suggested approach so leaders can move confidently from problem to plan.
How Lead fits into the Leadership Cycle
Lead is the final stage of the Everyone Succeeds Leadership Cycle. It builds on everything that comes before, from diagnosing strengths and development areas to learning, reflecting, applying, and practising new leadership behaviours.
At this stage, leaders move from preparation to execution. The focus shifts to setting clear priorities, planning actions, and leading teams to deliver meaningful and sustained improvement. Lead brings the entire cycle together by turning insight and practice into lasting results.
