The following is a collection of thoughts on my leadership.





Quotes:

1. The following quote for me describes you well because you have supported and encouraged all of us.

If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leaderJohn Quincy Adams

2. "Mark has a really good working manner with people. He recognizes and acknowledges ideas that are different and the work that is done. He knows the balance between fun and working responsibly; he has gained support of the staff through a 'real approach'."

4. "Mark is very helpful, cooperative, and he always offers advice and assistance when needed. He is patient and understanding; a decisive leader."

5. "Mark is able to listen to new ideas and suggestions, often taking the time to process them. He supports his staff willingly and has taken on additional duties...He is approachable, helpful and a good leader-allowing others to lead when it's best, but still remains a strong presence. Mark has been a good advocate and model for the MYP- a strong start as a coordinator."

6. You as a leader? Quotable short quotes then...

"Bringing all to the heart of the matter, he empowers,supports and teaches, inspiring each of us individually and as a group, to choose to take the next step."

That is the shortened version.
