Not sure how many of you are using LinkedIn (www.linkedin.com) as an outreach to various
professional organizations, but I routinely follow discussions and various
blogs through this professional social media.
A question was raised in one such discussion as to what the
members felt were the three most important qualities a principal (leader)
should possess. Realizing that entire books and dissertations have been written
on the topic; it was an interesting exercise in prioritizing and identifying
where my beliefs and values rested.
I’d urge each of you to take a reflective moment and
consider…of all the great leaders you know, what qualities drew you to them? If
you had to identify three and only three of the most important qualities, what
would make YOUR list? As you
review your list, how do you measure up to these qualities? If I were to ask
your followers what qualities you model, would there be similarities while
comparing their list to your list?
As you begin a new year, ask yourself what changes HAVE to
be made this year??? And then follow the advice from Gandhi, who is given
credit of saying, “Be the change you want to see in the world.”
What were my top 3? Not that important…What IS important is
that you search YOUR heart…YOUR beliefs…YOUR values…
Be good to yourself…
