@KatelynVipond @EdLdshpMSUM Being aware of our strengths is a great way to provide insight into ways of tackling tasks.

@KatieWheelock @EdLdshpMSUM Falling back on your strengths is a good backup plan!

A4. I will use this information to continue focusing and building upon my strengths as a leader and use the info in constructing a well rounded team around me. Great leaders surround themselves with great people. #ED634

@BridgetTews @BGameFFALC @EdLdshpMSUM Empathy is a great trait for leaders to have

[Jacob Schlecht @schlecht_jacob]

@KarenStish @EdLdshpMSUM I also dove into the insight report! Good stuff

[Jacob Schlecht @schlecht_jacob]

@tbry30 @EdLdshpMSUM Great point! It often feels uncomfortable to talk about but there should be no shame!

@AnnaWillems8 Teachers have to be done of the most flexible people I have ever met. Each day is truly a new experience!

[Jacob Schlecht @schlecht_jacob]

A3. My biggest takeaway is that my relationship based approach to teaching and classroom management is supported by my strengths. Most of my strengths came from that domain. Focus on strengths and surround yourself with the right people. #ED634

@BridgetTews @BGameFFALC @learnradzylearn @KatelynVipond @EdLdshpMSUM That is an awesome program! I hope it continues for your students

@DrottsKevin Growth mindset is important to remember in many areas of life

[Jacob Schlecht @schlecht_jacob]

A2. Great leaders are aware of both strengths and weaknesses but focusing on strengths is the best strategy to motivate others. If you focus on your weaknesses, people loose confidence. People like to follow strong leaders not weak ones. #ED634

[Jacob Schlecht @schlecht_jacob]

@BGameFFALC It’s not always the strongest person, but rather, the strongest team!

[Jacob Schlecht @schlecht_jacob]

@AnnaWillems8 Awesome point that strengths fit with our growth mindset!

[Jacob Schlecht @schlecht_jacob]

@CoachMeagher Great point that we are ourselves! No since trying to be someone else

[Jacob Schlecht @schlecht_jacob]

A1. Leaders need to know their own strengths and the strengths of their team members to know how to get the job done in the best way possible. This is a great resource that describes Rath and Conchie’s work https://t.co/xMJoW7ejqG #ED634

[Jacob Schlecht @schlecht_jacob]

People want to follow leaders. Effective leaders have a great deal of respect for their followers and don’t treat them as subordinates. Integrity, communication, and empathy go a long way! @EdLdshpMSUM

[Jacob Schlecht @schlecht_jacob]

Communication is essential for good leaders. Leaders need to communicate clear and concise expectations for their followers. @EdLdshpMSUM

[Jacob Schlecht @schlecht_jacob]

Good leaders are passionate, have goals and know how to reach those goals. @EdLdshpMSUM

@LightEduFires @TomSchimmer A5: Addressing the 5 myths of SBG was the biggest takeaway for me. It talked about some concerns specific concerns I had myself with SBG. I understand more now than I did. #MSUM644

A4: I give as much time as needed to get assignments in and if they don’t complete it by the due date, they are allowed to finish it and resubmit for credit. This helps my students focus on accuracy and gain confidence when working on material. #MSUM644
