Where did that come from?

Colleagues,
​
MVP: Know why things are as they are before trying to change them.

In the woods behind my house stands a tree with a shield nailed to it. My son Collin and I put that shield up about 15 years ago when he was still in middle school.

The shield isn’t the most beautiful thing and it serves no real function.

But if someone took it down, I would be sad.

When you are new to an organization, make sure you know the story of why things are the way they are – before you go trying to change things.

I explored this and other leadership thoughts with four awesome assistant principals on yesterday’s unique episode of The Assistant Principal Podcast.

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
