2024 Administrators' Conference: Lead Where You Are
“I’m just a ______.”
It’s a phrase we hear all the time. I’m just a teacher, tech director, custodian. And it’s always followed by reasons something CAN’T happen. Identifying leadership traits in yourself changes your mindset when thinking about leading those around you.
Part of our responsibilities as a leader is to identify leadership traits in others. The opportunities are endless for those who choose to lead. It’s our job to find those traits, focus our efforts on growth opportunities, and foster an environment where everyone has a chance to lead.
