1 Personal Leadership Resources

The Ontario Leadership Framework identifies three personal resources as instrumental to leadership success:

Cognitive Resources make up intelligence and experience. They are identified as problem- solving expertise and knowledge of situations and conditions which have direct effects on student learning.

Social Resources create effective working relationships and are enhanced by perceiving emotions, managing emotions, and acting in emotionally appropriate ways.

Psychological Resources help foster creativity and strategic risk-taking. They are identified by the OLF as optimism, self-efficacy, and resilience.
