Blog 4: Adaptive Leadership and the Growth Mindset

Leadership is about more than titles it’s about influence, flexibility, and continuous growth. I’ve learned that effective leaders embrace challenges as opportunities to learn, modeling resilience and positivity for others.

I identify most with Adaptive Leadership because it focuses on flexibility, collaboration, and problem-solving. This style allows me to lead with empathy while navigating constant change in education and technology. I want to be the kind of leader who helps others find solutions, encourages innovation, and promotes confidence when faced with uncertainty.

In my workplace, I apply these skills through technology integration. I use Google Workspace: Meet, Drive, Calendar, and Classroom

to streamline communication, support collaboration, and model digital responsibility. I also engage in ongoing professional development, using tools like the micro:bit to connect coding with real-world learning.

Being an adaptive leader with a growth mindset means staying open, reflective, and willing to evolve. By embracing change and empowering others to do the same, I can help build a culture of innovation and lifelong learning.
