Colleagues,
MVP: Investing five minutes a day in making your organization better makes a difference over time. Yesterday I challenged you to invest five minutes making your organization better. Did you do it? Here are three things you could have done in 5-minutes:
Would it make things dramatically better? No, but that isn’t the point. What if we made things a tiny bit better, every day? Where would we wind up? If you took up yesterday’s challenge, please consider sharing with me what you did! Cheers! Frederick

Colleagues,
Are you a middle school leader in North Carolina?
The link takes you to details for the MIDDLE GROUND: LEADERSHIP EXCELLENCE NETWORK, a year-long support program with NCMLE, my good friend Darrin Peppard, and yours truly. The price includes two virtual conferences, winter f-t-f conference, NCMLE’s amazing annual conference in March, and extra stuff from Darrin and I – all for under $2k! Feel free to email me with questions. A simple question for you today… What will you do today that will make your organization better than it was yesterday? Here’s my challenge – invest five minutes today making your organization better. Cheers! Frederick Colleagues, MVP: How much time you invest in supporting and growing others matters. What if I followed you around for a week, coding every 15 seconds of your day as being one of the following:
What would your time percentages look like? I’m guessing:
But what if you could invest more than 50% of your day growing and supporting your people? Imagine how much better your organization would be. My guest on yesterday’s episode of The Assistant Principal Podcast is Mark Shellinger who developed the SAM process – a technique to fundamentally reshape how to lead a school. If you are a school leader and want to invest more time in your people, listen to this episode. I’m happy to acknowledge Kaleidoscope Adventures as a sponsor of yesterday’s episode of The Assistant Principal Podcast! I appreciate their support and encourage you to connect with them if you are thinking about planning a school trip!  Cheers!
Frederick Colleagues, MVP: Work towards incremental improvement so things actually get better. “Make your bites small enough that what you do is nourishing.” This morning’s episode of The Assistant Principal Podcast features my interview with Mark Shellinger. Mark has developed a pretty remarkable system for helping principals be instructional leaders. I hope you give it a listen. Thanks again to IXL for sponsoring today’s episode.  Cheers!
Frederick Colleagues,

Feel free to email me with questions. MVP: You need four types of support… We can’t grow strong in isolation, yet leadership can be isolating work. Even when you are never alone, there are some fundamental needs that are often unfulfilled. To remain strong and resilient, we need a support system. Typically, that system has four components:
Do you have all four? If not, what are your plans for filling the gaps? If you are a North Carolina middle school principal (or assistant principal), check out the NCMLE Leadership Excellence Network (link) to help with numbers 2 and 4. If you are looking for a coach, I have a couple precious slots available. You can schedule a call with me here. No pressure, just want to make sure you have options. Cheers! Frederick |
