Beautifully stated! Words to embrace and live by as I step into a new school & leadership role.

The purpose of leadership is to listen, inspire, hold space for others to make meaning, model excellent pedagogy, and build a culture of transformation. There is no hammer in this picture. It's about slowing down, really seeing/hearing people, & moving with humility + integrity.

@MrsBallAP @Elizabethutch @MaryMyatt Love that this quote highlights the value of reading for interest/pleasure, as well as books about leadership/management. No need to feel guilty for reading a novel. It all makes a difference.

Wisdom from @eduleadership on time management for busy school leaders

“Do the most important work first, and give yourself a hard deadline for going home. You’ll work faster and more efficiently, you’ll prioritize more rigorously, and you’ll be more effective.”
