Destroy the Evidence and Define Your Leadership

by

Ever wonder why some leaders appear to have it all together while others just seem lost? I think it comes down to being self-aware, and destroying the ‘evidence’ that we so often look to as truth.

Sometimes, as a leader, you can feel like you are running a marathon uphill.  You doubt your vision, question your goals and wonder if you have what it takes to lead.  There are times when no matter how hard you try to move forward, you just feel as though you are standing still.  It is during these times when you must be willing to face your greatest adversary… you.

If you want to lead others well you must first destroy the ‘evidence’ that is holding you back from being who you were meant to be.

A Lesson in Leadership From Harry Potter

Your Inner Circle Is Key!

by

When I think about leadership I think of two simple words, ‘inner circle.’  Those who we surround ourselves with will often determine the path we take as leaders.

Throughout history we have learned lessons from stories that touch our hearts. Rarely, however, do the heroes in our stories succeed without guidance and help from other characters. Many times, the only reason they can fulfill their destiny is because others have helped them along the way.

As leaders, the fictional stories of heroes can resonate with us and cause us to reflect on how we can be better.  The story of Harry Potter is no exception, and in my opinion it demonstrates the perfect example of how our ‘inner circle’ can help form us into the leaders we become.

Don’t Be The Leader Who’s Stuck On First Base

by

Baseball is a great game. It requires skill, patience, and teamwork in order to succeed, and the beauty is that hard work binds all three together.   

sport-640832__480

The concept of baseball is quite simple, cross home plate more times than your opponent and you win. The difficulty lies in advancing past the other three bases that stand in the way.  Successful teams, however, are led by brilliant coaches who help to fine tune skills, master strategies and find ways to navigate to victory. 

We can learn a lot, as teachers and leaders, from the game of baseball.

We Can Learn Plenty From Pencil and Paper

by

There is just something special about writing on paper with a pencil that transcends the test of time.  The beauty that comes from the simplicity of it is amazing.

I have found that a pencil not only represents genius, but it also truly paints a picture of the complexity of leadership. Some of us are leaders, some of us are followers, and some of us are a bit of both. When it comes down to it, regardless of where we stand,  we can learn plenty about who we are from a pencil and a piece of paper.

3 Key Principles Strong Leaders Follow

And how teachers can apply them!

by

Great results don’t just happen overnight. Whether you teach twenty-five students in a classroom, or if you are in charge of hundreds of people on a team, there has to be preparation and mentorship along the way in order to be the best you can be.  Great leaders are developed in much the same way.

0001

We can all think of those few people in our lives that we would consider to be a true, stand out leader in whatever they do.  Natural charisma, magnetic charm, and a positive attitude may be three elements of the person you are thinking of, however these are not the most important aspects of a great leader.

The ones who stand out take action daily and live by certain principles.

teachers-3Leadership seems to be something that is constantly talked about in all walks of life. Whether you are a teacher, an administrator, a coach, an influencer, a top level executive, or leading in some other way, you can find so much covering this topic to help you improve. Most concentrate on the characteristics or traits of a leader however, instead of the journey itself.  It is so important to take the time and remind ourselves of the journey so we don’t lose sight of the goal.
