Leadership Connectors – Chapter two: Support
Working in three different districts has given me the opportunity to experience several different types of leadership. Support is a word that can be interrupted in many different ways. I have been in situations where my administrative team believed they were providing me with the support I needed, when in fact I had never felt so alone. At that time in my life I believed it was like that in every district. I am now surrounded by leaders that empower me which encourages me to continue to give 100%. Reading Leadership Connector has given me the opportunity to realize that great leaders surround themselves with good people and they realize that it is virtually impossible to do the job alone. Leaders set the tone, and they find something good in everyone. My personal challenge is to find that “good” in everyone, even if I have to dig a little deeper.
I could not agree more with you when you said, "Leaders set the tone" I have worked under four different principals and some did not set the tone right from the get go and it made it difficult to work together and some had, I can tell the difference in the outcome.
