Aligned leadership fuels strategic progress. From School Board to district leaders, alignment and clarity are vital. Does your leadership team work in the system or on the system? Are they prepared to move your strategic plan toward success to meet your mission and vision?

As a district leader, are you in tune with the desired daily experiences of your students, staff and families? Engagement is crucial for assessing a school district's current reality. #education #empathy #strategicplanning #lacrescenthokahpublicschools TeamWorks

Leaders lacking a holistic view of the system and the PD and coaching to lead strategic plans may perpetuate stagnant outcomes. How do you equip your leaders for transformative leadership that drives your strategic plan toward your vision? TeamWorks #strategicplan #edleaders

Leaders must opt to work on, not in the system, knowing the difference between the two approaches. It's vital for leaders to actively choose to address systemic issues to enact meaningful change. Are your leaders working on the system or in the system?#edleaders #strategicplan

Leaders who work on the system vs. in the system have directional clarity and their calendars reflect this fact. What does your calendar reflect for you? #edleaders #strategicplan #TeamWorks

Embedding purpose and engagement into every meeting, workshop and gathering matters. Even with the most mundane of Zoom calls. Tip: take a walk in the shoes of your participants, just for a moment. How might this meeting, workshop or gathering make YOU feel? TeamWorks

Evolving leadership means recognizing that stability alone may not suffice in today’s evolving landscape, requiring leaders who are proactive in fostering resilience, embracing uncertainty, and driving transformative change to propel your district forward. Are your leaders ready?

If we continue to overlook the importance of education leaders within the school community, and don’t provide them with support and growth opportunities, then we will not have systemic transformational change and will have to settle for incremental change in our school systems.

The hiring process for an organization is one of the most important management tasks to accomplish. Helpful to hiring, is to have a district created, and approved hiring process that is detailed, collaboratively created, and collectively adhered to. TeamWorks TeamWorks

Education leaders are strategic thinkers and relationship builders who provide the strategic direction for student's educational experiences, foster positive organizational culture, and build relationships with partners. Leaders, do you have the tools needed to do this work?

Directional ambiguity derails a strategic plan. Without crystal-clear direction, for both those within the organization and those served by the organization, disillusionment and mistrust prevail. Every organization needs directional clarity for strategic success.#TeamWorksCanHelp

Collaboration between education and its partners is vital to the system itself. It is imperative that partners feel acknowledged and valued for their contributions. What strategies do you use to ask for feedback, invite diverse perspectives, and genuinely listen to your partners?

Successful school leaders are intentional about creating authentic partnerships at all levels of the district including: administrator to staff; staff to student; staff to parent/guardians. Key to the partnership is building trust through a common interest of student success.
