A simple leadership tip: Make it a habit to notice what others are doing right.

[Allison Dobson, M.Ed @MsADobson]

Well said!

Sometimes, teachers don’t need their administrators to inspire them, motivate them, or even lead them.

Sometimes, what teachers need... is for their administrators to listen to them, understand them, and validate their experiences.

It’s true. 😞

My message to our staff right now is simple - keep it simple!
My job as principal right is simple - keep it simple for my staff!
This is not the time to over complicate the work we are doing! Keep it simple! Keep the main thing, the main thing!

Love it!

Leaders can bring positive energy into the school. They can provide meaningful support for their staff. They can genuinely communicate how much they value their people.

It doesn’t have to take extra $$$ or extraordinary expertise. But it does require passion for the work.

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

If you want to build your culture... invest in your people. It’s not about programs, plans, or even strategies; it’s always about the people.

September is National Suicide Prevention & Awareness Month. We challenge anyone and everyone to start a national conversation about the "Silent Epidemic" of youth suicide. Check out our counseling center webpage for more information and resources https://t.co/06tnashwnc.

Some thoughts on raising staff morale:

1. Trust staff to do their job... and give them the freedom to do it. Respect their professionalism.

2. Thank staff for doing their job; never take it for granted.

3. Listen to the concerns of staff... and act on them when you can.

[Allison Dobson, M.Ed @MsADobson]

@BrianLHawkins Will do! Promise

[Allison Dobson, M.Ed @MsADobson]

Agreed!

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

Leaders need to be willing to listen to bad news. They need to be willing to hear uncomfortable truths. And they need to create a culture in the organization where everyone feels ok speaking up.

Working all the time doesn't make you a hero. In fact, it's likely to make you less efficient and put you at a higher risk of burnout. https://t.co/5twddjswCx

You didn't get trained to be a remote teacher in college.

You didn't get taught remotely when you were growing up.

Give yourself a break. You will get better over time.
