CREACTIVE

I’ve spent years reading leadership books, articles, allegories, and parables about the virtues of “laser-like focus”, “courageous conversations”, and “unapologetic direction”.  I like getting pumped up by such inspiring clichés.  It seems part of our animal spirit that the strong and unwaivering receive the fellowship of followers.

The more I’ve thought about it, however, we are headed in an unapologetic direction with laser-like focus into times that require courage, but not just in conversation.  The times we’re headed into require the type of leadership that great teachers exhibit every day.

Miriam-Webster defines it as these:

Proactive – adjective relating to, caused by, or being interference between previous learning and the recall or performance of later learning

Hundreds of times each day, plans change, new questions arise, decisions must be made by teachers who more times than not foresee and adjust in advance.

Creative – adjective marked by the ability or power to create

Just as often as we must be proactive, resources are continually reduced and we must create new direction, alternatives, sometimes even our own luck.

Reactive – adjective of, relating to, or marked by reaction

Try as we may, the future is complex and uncertain.  We can’t be prepared for everything so we must take the hand we’re dealt and make it better, or make the best.

Reflective – adjective marked by reflection: thoughtful, deliberative

Regardless of our circumstances, none of us can lead if we are unable or unwilling to learn from our circumstances.

Put all of these together and I’d like to introduce my newly coined term, CREACTIVE, to describe the type of leadership we need.  The good news, my teacher friends, is that creactive leadership is within each of us already and the time has come for us to use this trait to let our voices be heard, to own and shape the future learning environments for our kids!
