ABSTRACT
As headteacher you need not only to perform management tasks competently and be skilled in different aspects of the role but also be able to organise so that your personal time and energies are used to the best advantage. In today’s schools this is far from easy. There have been many new demands on headteachers in recent years and no easing of previous demands to compensate. This makes the ability to manage time even more important. Being well organised is a matter of knowing yourself and having the selfdiscipline to maintain routines and priorities. You need to know how to get the best out of yourself.
