As you approach this school year…don’t let your to-do list pull you from who is most important…the people!
10 quotes from “Leading With People: A Six Pillar Framework for Fruitful Leadership”
https://t.co/pBT8xqzAs7
#LeadWithPeople
Such a powerful quote here. The reality is people won’t find fault in those who rest in the land of mediocrity. The people who endure the most criticism are highly motivated. As long as you are standing still, no one will complain.
Whether you are a teacher or in an administrative role…
🔹Don’t stand still.
🔺Take the leap.
🔹Try new things.
🔺And always do what’s best for kids, even when it’s hard.
Will you be criticized by some? Yes.
But is this leadership? Absolutely yes.
Remember…
Dogs don’t bark at parked cars…
…They bark at the cars who are moving.
Keep moving forward and keep doing what’s best for kids.
This is leadership.
Focus on the Big 7 this school year:
1. Take care of yourself
2. Take care of each other
3. Love kids
4. Pursue excellence, not perfection
5. Control the controllables
6. Be in the moment
7. Have fun!
One of the most toxic things that happens is the conversations “warning” a teacher about students coming into their class next year. I wonder how teachers would feel if parents were “warned” about the teacher their child will have. All students deserve a fresh start.
@GinnyGills@WendyTillett Love it! We do something similar. We had a glow party last quarter that students could purchase a ticket to. I’m curious to hear more about what this dance party entailed!
