The key to brilliant schools, brilliant teams and brilliant organisations is to engage, switch on and keep switched on the colleagues who work with us...

Everyone tells me that it simply doesn't work like that but here is a four week plan to build brilliant.
WEEK ONE
Be unfailingly positive and upbeat, smile a lot and say something positive and meaningful to anyone and everyone who makes a difference or helps;
WEEK TWO
Show a genuine interest, actively engage colleagues and listen carefully to what they say;
WEEK THREE
Make colleagues feel valued, single out anyone who has gone the extra mile and show your appreciation with letters, chocolates or flowers.
WEEK FOUR
Practice, practice, practice and enjoy!

Try it and see.
