Who is your gardener?

7/26/2023

Colleagues,

MVP: A mentor is like a gardener who helps you achieve maximum growth.
 
My garden isn’t quite as prolific as last year.
 
This is to be expected as I was away for almost the entire month of June.
 
Without a good gardener, the garden doesn’t do quite as well.
 
Even when I had pre-fertilized and trellised my plants before I left, without a little extra care and attention, the plants haven’t grown to their full potential.

If you listened to yesterday’s episode of The Assistant Principal Podcast, you heard me compare the roles of the support network to elements in the garden:
  • The leader is like the soil you are dropped into
  • Your community is like fertilizer which fills any gaps your leader may have
  • Your advocate is like a trellis to support you when the wind blows
  • Your mentor is like the gardener who helps all the elements work together
 
Your mentor is not more important than any other roles in your network, but your mentor is essential for helping you achieve your full leadership potential.
 
Remember to check out our new mentoring program and get you support network checklist at https://www.frederickbuskey.com/mentoring.html.
 
Today’s intention: Who is your gardener? Take a minute to email or call them and tell them how much they mean to you. If you don’t have a gardener, think about where you can find one. If you are interested in having me be your gardener, email me or check out our mentoring program.

Cheers!

Frederick
