Everything is in the system

Colleagues,

We’ve talked a lot about systems this week.
 
Why?
 
Systems either keep us on the treadmill of the urgent, or they help us become more strategic and intentional.
 
Creating strategic systems takes time, but it also takes reflection.
 
It’s Friday. 
 
Please take some time to reflect – it is the only way you are going to grow!

• What is something in your organization that isn’t working?
• What aspect of the job is someone struggling in?
• How are you consistently helping people grow?

 
All of these things are about systems.
 
Two final things…
 
First, please listen to yesterday’s podcast, even if you aren’t an assistant principal or even an educator. It is saturated with inspiring and powerful ideas about leadership. This is the best episode we’ve done so far. It will make you laugh, cry, think, smile, and grow.
 
Second, consider sharing a sticking point with me. That is a place where your processes aren’t working. I’d like to hear where the difficulties are and maybe explore some ways to unstick them.
 
Have a great weekend!
 
Cheers!
 
Frederick
