This email ends in an unexpected way…

Colleagues,

MVP: Stop doing processes that don’t work.

In yesterday’s episode of The Assistant Principal Podcast, Charles Williams and I looked at saying “No!”

I usually think about saying no to things others are asking of me, but Charles talked about saying no to using bad processes.

You can say no to an open-door policy that leads to you being interrupted every five minutes.

You can say no to beginning your day with email.

On a personal level, you could say no to bringing your phone into the bathroom. For just one day. Maybe? Try it.

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
