Treat people as if they are doing the very best they can... because often times, they are. Nobody intentionally goes out to do a bad job. This applies to all facets of everyday #life.

My thoughts exactly!
#ThoughtForTheDay Thinking about a retreat w/your team/staff this summer? Then leave the bldg./district office, leave the city. Your local library is not a retreat. That’s a meeting. Leave town, spend quality time w/each other. Team build, dream, talk, laugh....& work! #Culturize

Building a great team is not just about feeding the positive. We must also weed the negative. Identify it. Confront it. Transform it. Remove it.

Goal to end the school year: Seek out & thank the ‘invisible’ people within our schools who quietly do their work without much acknowledgement or attention. These team members are often the ‘linchpin’ glue holding everything together & without them we’d struggle mightily.

#ThoughtForTheDay Gossip is one of the biggest culture killers of any organization. By staying silent we may be sending the wrong message. How will you defend those in your organization who are the victims of gossip? Start today by responding in a different way…via #Culturize
