Show The Work - Leadership Moves that Matter
Mar 17, 2023Show The Work That Your School Is Accomplishing - Simply
March. It's like October of the spring in the life of schools. Endings and beginnings seem pressed together. Schools start countdowns to spring break and end of school. Principals are furiously working to hire for openings they know they have and submit reports on annual plans to the community and the district. District leaders are working to maximize the last few months of the year and show progress on new initiatives. Not wanting to fall into the trap of "new thing, new year", leaders who have vision and are working to build systems to put that in place with their teams can also feel like it's all to vague to tell the story of how the work is happening.
You want to tell that story. You want everyone to see what the work looks like in action. You want to celebrate the small steps of staff stepping into a multi-year initiative. You might even want to mute the voices of "this will pass, I've seen this before and she'll be gone in a year" who are blocking the momentum of the work.
How? While you want to do the grand gestures and summaries of the work, there just isn't the time when you stack it up against everything else.
But culture is built in small, consistent and reliable steps. Make yours matter.
What if you could implement a simple leadership move in 5 minutes a day that could:
- get explicit about what it is you want to see at your site
- project positivity and celebration around your initiatives
- become a habit and hallmark of your school and district culture that others replicate
- even translate into classrooms?
Visual storytelling, done simply, is powerful.
