“You have to make a conscious decision to connect with staff and when you are interested in what is happening in their lives, then that is the foundation for good relationships and from there other things can flourish.” We chat to Donal O’ Reilly, teacher, school leader, deputy director of a national centre for leadership and all round leaderphile about his thoughts on leadership.
