LEARN
Deepen your understanding of what great leadership looks like in action
The Learn stage of the Everyone Succeeds Leadership Cycle helps you explore the 54 leadership behaviours that define exceptional school leadership. Through the Everyone Succeeds book, companion workbook, and online tools, you can study the habits and principles used by outstanding leaders and reflect on how to bring them to life in your own school.
This stage is about insight and understanding. It connects theory with the daily practice of leadership, providing the knowledge that underpins every other stage in the cycle, from applying strategies to coaching others and reflecting on growth.
Explore the Everyone Succeeds leadership book and workbook.
The book defines 54 proven leadership behaviours observed in outstanding schools, while the workbook turns those insights into practical tools for reflection, coaching, and deliberate practice. Together, they help leaders understand what great leadership looks like and build the habits that bring it to life.
Each behaviour captures a specific action or mindset seen in exceptional leaders. Learn what it looks like in practice, why it matters, and how to strengthen it. Real examples, stories, and research insights bring the framework to life and show how these behaviours drive excellence across every aspect of school leadership.
The Leadership Toolkits provide step-by-step guidance for applying the leadership behaviours in real contexts. They include ready-to-use templates, walkthroughs, and examples that support planning, communication, and problem-solving. Each toolkit translates ideas from the book into clear, actionable steps that make leadership more focused and effective.
Great leadership, like great teaching, improves through focused practice.
This section brings together coaching frameworks and deliberate practice activities that help leaders rehearse, refine, and embed key behaviours. These tools transform theory into action, creating lasting improvement and stronger habits that shape how leaders think, act, and influence those around them.
How Learn fits into the Leadership Cycle
The diagnostic is the first step in the Everyone Succeeds Leadership Cycle. By combining reflection with structured feedback, you can move from awareness to action and from action to habit: the foundation of lasting improvement.
