Colleagues,
MVP: Prioritize your values now, not later. I struggled writing this week’s messages. They are dark. But, sometimes living and leading better means dealing with the ugly stuff. Maybe we won’t be forced to choose, but we had better be prepared. Prioritize your values now. Trying to do it in the heat of the moment is a recipe for disaster. I’ll be more inspiring next week. Please consider replying to this message and give me feedback. Cheers! Frederick

Colleagues,
MVP: Anticipate value conflicts and prioritize your values in advance. When you are forced to choose between competing values, the risk of scarring increases. A chaotic, and increasingly mean, political atmosphere often creates a conflict between leaders’ responsibilities as employees with their responsibilities as humans. If you are told by higher ups to provide a list of students who are undocumented, and you know it could result in those children being taken (to camps) by the government, what do you do? We are parts of a system, and we are culpable for what that system does. We are also human beings, and we are culpable for how we treat our fellows. A critical way to prevent scarring is to anticipate value conflicts and prioritize your values in advance. Cheers! Frederick Colleagues,
MVP: Made a mistake? Apologize, analyze, address. When you have already made a mistake, how do you lessen the likelihood of moral scarring?
Cheers! Frederick Colleagues, MVP: Prioritizing leads to delegating. What are the keys to delegating?
On episode 242 of The Assistant Principal Podcast I shared my keynote session, Fires to Fulfillment. In today’s episode, I address some of the “I would like to know more about…” questions I received from participants, including the one on delegation. Thanks again to IXL for sponsoring today’s episode.  Cheers!
Frederick Colleagues,
MVP: Be aware of the scars you, and others, carry. Sometimes as leaders we do things we shouldn’t do:
These mistakes are part of being a leader, but each one can leave a small scar. If what we did is counter to our values, this results in moral scarring. Scarring is this week’s theme, so today…
