‘Know Thyself’

What does good leadership look like?

Are you an introvert or an extrovert?

What are your natural skills and abilities?

These are all questions Chris Wheeler, Principal at Monkton Combe School, addressed as he led an energetic leadership session for all pupils in Years 6 to 8.

Mr Wheeler used the DISC human behaviour model to outline four key personality types, encouraging the children to consider which one they most identified with.

“Understanding yourself can provide an important foundation for personal growth and help you forge successful working relationships,” Mr Wheeler explained.

“Of course, all traits are equally valuable, and any good team will have people with different skill sets and perspectives.”

Mr Wheeler is about to start a new role as Headmaster at Canford, so met Will and James who will also join the school in Year 9 in September.

An inspiring start to the week.
