So true, thank you for sharing this thought in the forum. Have you ever worked for someone that had this true passion you describe to lead?
Dr. Jean Norris
The most important lesson for me was the focus on relationships. The relationship between the principal and the faculty, the relationship between the principal and the students and the relationship between the faculty and the students. If any of those relationships failed, the outcome would be very different.
Heather,
You are so correct. Do you find this connectivity in your institution?
Dr. Jean Norris
The most important point for me was in the building and developing relationships by getting out often to be with the students is key to making a difference in the educational environment.
Frank, Great! How specifically will you be more present with the students?
Dr. Jean Norris
I agree with Heather thst leadeship requires looking at the whole picture and assessing what needs to be accomplished and how to achieve.
There were two items for me. One was the mentoring and working with the staff and the other was the relationships both with staff and with the students and parents as well. Both seem to be equally important to me.
L. D., Thank you for posting! How will you apply these lessons learned into your everyday practice?
