#Leadership is not about being in charge. It's about taking care of those in your charge. - Simon Sinek

Be Your Best through "generous leadership", to take care of others and allow each of them to develop, grow, and thrive.#TuesdayThoughts #GrowthMindset #nced

Principal & Teachers. Teacher & Students. Coach & Athletes. Etc.

SHARED OWNERSHIP:

It needs to be “us”, “we”, & “our.”

It can’t be “them”, “I”, & “their.”

Be Your Best through shared ownership.#TuesdayThoughts #Leadership #GrowthMindset #nced

"As a leader, when you demonstrate vulnerability and are honest, you free others. You free people to expose their roadblocks and their fears; they feel more empowered; and their performance improves."

Be Your Best by "taking off the mask."#TuesdayThoughts #Leadership

Healthy competition isn't necessary a bad thing, when you are competing with YOURSELF to continuously improve...

Be Your Best, every day...knowing our "best" looks different each day.#TuesdayThoughts #Leadership #GrowthMindset #nced

There is a lot you cannot control in the world. But you have complete control of your enthusiasm and attitude.

Continue to be your best.#TuesdayThoughts #Leadership #GrowthMindset #nced

Thinking that a #leadership position makes you a leader is like thinking that wearing an #NFL jersey makes you a professional football player.

Be Your Best through authentic leadership & embrace everything that comes w/ what we are tasked.#TuesdayThoughts #GrowthMindset #nced

I don't know if being positive solves problems, but I do know being negative doesn't. - @ToddWhitaker

Be Your Best w/ positive, optimistic (GENUINE) energy to collaboratively overcome our challenges and celebrate our successes.#TuesdayThoughts #Leadership #GrowthMindset #nced

"Look for something positive in each day, even if some days you have to look a little harder."

Continue to Be Your Best when you feel like complaining and shift your attention to something that you're grateful for.#TuesdayThoughts #Leadership #GrowthMindset #nced
