@PrincipalsCtr Q5: To engage in authentic and mutual conversation, just be honest with a bit of a buffer to smooth the rough edges, but not so much smoothing as to distort the objective of the conversation.
@PrincipalsCtr A4: Before the conversation, I will have a list of bullet points that I would objectively like to cover so when emotionally loaded comments arise, I can refer back to my bullet points to stay on track and objective.
@PrincipalsCtr I show appreciation at holidays and birthdays as well as during the regular work week. I generally make sure I use statements in emails that show I appreciate their hard work.
@PrincipalsCtr A2: I write the email and once it is finished, I re-read to edit once more and note the tone of each statement to soften as needed. #GSUEdLead
@Melissa06177645 @PrincipalsCtr I agree....sounds simple...sometimes people view from lenses of previous mistrusts and resentments... then its becomes more difficult to impress upon them that you truly have goodwill.
@fmurrayford @Mr_Glick_ @PrincipalsCtr Honesty and trust exactly what is needed for tough conversations. Better to begin with them rather than try to repair broken trust and lack of honesty.
@PrincipalsCtr A4: Determine which things are most important to the mission of the organization. My organization is not a school so the mission and the latest issues that have arisen from daily work. Just bring it up and ask for various perspectives on the issue.. #GSUlead
@PrincipalsCtr A3: We allow time for all to provide input and discuss until perspectives come closer together. Make sure all opinions are heard, understanding that it may not be time for a decision after every conversation. Some things can be tabled until another time . #GSULEAD
