Five for Friday, August 14-18, 2023
Hello Colleagues and welcome to another 5 for Friday episode of The Assistant Principal Podcast!
Today’s shout out goes to… I don’t know. It’s been a quiet week at the podcast as everyone gears up for school. Please consider emailing me, DMing me on LinkedIn, or leaving a review of the podcast on Apple podcasts – so I can give someone a shout out – so I can give you a shout out!
Today’s episode of Five for Friday recaps the strategic leadership emails for the week of August 14-18, 2023.
New plus new = good!
New teachers want close relationships with their administrators.
In the end, we stay in organizations because of the relationships we have with leaders.
Takeaway
Friday’s email summarized it all. If your school culture isn’t where you want it to be, there are two critical things to look at:
· First is the quality of the relationships you have with others. If those aren’t where you want them to be, go back to Friday’s email, print it off, and cut out the list of bullet points. Tape them to your computer, your door, mirror, everywhere. Just begin asking questions that help you learn about people.
· Second, and this will be an upcoming episode, look at the alignment within your organization. The easiest thig to check is the demand you are putting on people’s static resources:
o Resources come in two forms
o Time and attention are different (giving time to something when you are fried)
o Backpack size
o Lightening the load can improve culture
That is this week’s Five for Friday rendition of The Assistant Principal Podcast.
