Ontario Leadership Framework (OLF) Resources

Introduction

The Ontario Leadership Framework (OLF) describes successful individual and small group practices for both school and system leaders, as well as effective organizational practices at both school and system levels.

In addition, the OLF now includes a section entitled Personal Leadership Resources. This section distils evidence about leadership traits and dispositions most likely to influence the effectiveness with which leadership practices are enacted. These resources are intended to be especially relevant for purposes of leadership recruitment and selection.
