THE SPECIFIC TYPES OF LEADERS<br />
DEVELOPED AT ACS<br />
PEGGY PELONIS<br />
PRESIDENT<br />
ACS ATHENS SCHOOL<br />
George Sifakis: Could you describe<br />
the specific type of leader you're<br />
looking to develop at ACS Athens?<br />
Peggy Pelonis: Yes, We think it's<br />
really important for somebody to<br />
observe and listen; and to really<br />
understand their environment. It's<br />
so easy to jump in and say, I<br />
know how to do things, I've done<br />
this, I've had experience, or I've<br />
done it in another situation, and I<br />
know how to do it. I'm not<br />
particularly a person who<br />
micromanages; I don't like to. I<br />
like to empower people to<br />
develop their own leadership<br />
style, and it's the same thing for<br />
students. We want to provide<br />
guidance, but at the same time,<br />
the most important thing is the<br />
kind of mindset that they're<br />
working from. How are students<br />
thinking about the world? How<br />
are they thinking about another<br />
human being?<br />
Peggy: The process of doing this<br />
actually develops the solution and<br />
then gives them the opportunity to<br />
say, 'Now that I have this solution,<br />
it's not only a question of telling<br />
people what to do, but how do I<br />
bring a team of people to work with<br />
me together?' So kids will actually<br />
take that initiative to say, 'Okay, I<br />
have this idea,' and then the next<br />
question is, 'Great, what do you<br />
need to make it happen, and how<br />
can I support that?' How are you<br />
going to get a team together to help<br />
you move forward with this? How<br />
are you going to inspire other<br />
people around you to come together<br />
so they can move with you and<br />
make this much more powerful and<br />
impactful?<br />
