Leadership isn’t easy
especially going in to a new school that you have little knowledge about. Our
school is getting a new principal this year and with that comes change. This article stood out to me this week because of the change we are about to undergo. The
article has great ideas on how to be an effective
leader. This information can be used for anyone that is taking on some kind of leadership role. Click below to read the article.

I read this article too and I really liked it. I especially believe in #4 and #5. Leading morally will lead to faithful followers. Demonstrate courage and compromise is also so vital to a successful leader. Swim upstream and buck the norm is critical to taking your "team" across the finish line of success. I served 12 years as an Army officer and I feel I tried to follow the 6 steps outlined in this article.
ReplyDeleteWe are in the same boat at our school. We are getting two new assistant principals and a new superintendent. This article really hit home for me as well. Huge changes are in our future, hopefully for the better.
