Build the capacity of others to help them be able to grow people

Colleagues,

In yesterday’s episode of The Assistant Principal Podcast,  I encouraged you to create an org chart based on who is responsible for growing whom. Even doing this in your head, you’ve probably realized that there are people who don’t have anyone to support them. In fact, there are probably too many people to support given the way your organization is currently organized.

Two things you can begin doing:

1. Have someone whose responsibility is to develop the capacity of the growers
2. Increase the pool of growers

In a school, we could invest more into our mentor teachers and have them become growers.

In a non-profit, we could invest in our veteran and team leaders.

If you have thoughts on this, I’d love to hear them! Email me here.

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
