New questions that have emerged for me in regard to my teaching

I have been in the role of vice principal for just over a year. In that year, much learning took place about the role and myself as a leader. I have often reflected on who I am as a leader, my strengths and areas for growth and development. As stated by Fullan “There has never been a time when the circumstances for the role of principal have been more volatile. Facing the unpredictable, principals must be able to handle a good deal of ambiguity while displaying strong lead learner qualities”(Fullan, 2014, p.145). I have learned to provide feedback based on facts, refrain from personal overtones and remind myself that I am in this role to support and provide guidance as needed. Building flexibility into my plans is essential, as others might not follow guidelines and processes as well as I think they should. Accepting that I cannot solve all issues in a day and sharing the responsibility with others continues to be a daily challenge. Asking strategic questions and letting my staff develop ideas, actions, and next steps is one of my goals as a leader. Which questions should I be asking? Which sentence stems could I use? What feedback is the most beneficial? To support this goal, I am reading The Art of Coaching: effective strategies for school transformation, which provides general coaching sentence stems along with facilitative and directive coaching stems.
