Star International School Mirdif

At Star International School Mirdif (Dubai), leadership is about impact, not hierarchy.

It is about the courage to tell the truth, the resilience to listen deeply, and the humility to be changed by what you hear.

Our Leadership Playbook is rooted in the belief shared by Susan Scott:

The conversation is the relationship.

And equally by Bren Brown:

Clear is kind. Unclear is unkind.

Leaders here model emotional maturity, vulnerability, and courage, because psychological safety is the foundation of high performance.

Every leader commits to The Star Mirdif Way:

  • Commit to our STAR culture and values
  • Accountability with kindness - clarity, care and fairness
  • Go Beyond for our students and each other

These are lived behaviours - not posters on a wall.

How We Lead

Grounded in the work of Scott, Brown, Goleman, Lencioni, and your own Leadership Playbook, leaders at Star Mirdif:

  • Create clarity - because people deserve to know what matters most
  • Build trust - through openness, curiosity, and honesty
  • Communicate with care and courage - even when the conversation is fierce
  • Model vulnerability-based courage - showing up with heart, not armour
  • Develop others through coaching (GROW & ADAPT)
  • Foster psychological safety while upholding high expectations
  • Drive consistency and cohesion across phases and teams
  • Own their house - while contributing to the whole-school mission
  • Focus relentlessly on student learning and human growth
