@SciEdSpecialist Marissa, I agree! Not only do we need to prioritize learning but recognize that opportunities our students might miss out on are key in learning too!
P. Chance wrote, "Communication is a primary function of leadership and a driving force of the school organization." Nonverbal communication also counts. Our facial expressions and presentation of self are also crucial in communication. #GSUEdLead
@3rdwithUnger The balance is so important but the title is a whole thought on its own. Principals DO affect students, they need to connect with students not just when bad behavior is involved.
The organizational structure within a school and the relationship that is created with core values in mind is an important place to examine when thinking of the building blocks of leadership. #GSUEdLead
@Lelewyn2510 Wynette, this is a great point. Leadership is definitely woven throughout all aspects of the daily function. A principal or superintendent might not be found in a classroom or CEO on the sales floor but that does not mean that their influence is not seen or needed.
@DaBeautynTeachn T, I wonder what the number comparisons are for teacher turnover as compared to principal turnover. Knowing the burnout and pressure on teachers is it higher or lower for principals? #GSUEdLead
When thinking about the division of labor and specialization, leaders must continuously seek ways to communicate effectively and build upon strengths of individuals. #GSUEdLead
@kEDhurt@GSUEdLead I'd love to dive into this reading too! Looking at the strengths around you can not only help you coordinate strong teams but can also help with self- reflection.
Hi! I'm Judith currently taking Educational Leadership & Organizational Culture #GSUEdLead Have you read Radical Candor by Kim Scott? It's not a quick read, however the application of ideas in communication are useful in many areas of the education world.
@AaronAvera Great point Aaron! Mistakes will always happen what will we do after? How can we as leaders prepare others to handle mistakes and support them along the way?
@LauraLavoie15 Not all ghost are scary. The impact that great leadership has can often be felt in the spook of the hallways. Do you inspire a lasting spirit within a company or should your leadership be buried?
Mood is temporary and can influence decisions that are long lasting. Are you taking your mood and behaviors into account when thinking about risks and rewards in decisions as a leader? #GSUEdLead

@LilLiteracyLady How important for leaders to keep in mind when starting new projects and creating teams. If you say no to one idea, it could create ripples for future idea growers.
@hann_monique Monique, excellent point! Questions breed growth. Creating an environment where people feel comfortable to ask is critical, even if it begin anonymously.
@MsBenefield Janiece this reminds me of the sticker on mirrors. "Objects may appear closer than they are." Perceptions can change based on the viewer's lens. Not only do leaders need to build transparency, we need to also be aware of our perceived intentions via texts and online. #GSUEdLead
@Jessica_Hodge33 Jessica, this is a great point. I love to see that as a leader you are already looking within before looking around. I will use this tidbit as I begin group leadership projects as well! #GSUEdLead
