Leadership Episode - Mission Drift - Teams | E68

Season #5 Episode #68

 We are in the middle of the Mission Drift Leadership Series. We will talk about how you know that you are achieving the vision you want. We will talk about tightening up your mission so it doesn't get off course or fall victim to mission drift. This episode is all about teams and the focus of avoiding mission drift.

We also have a "need to know" about what types of books educators should be reading. It's not about the specific books; it's about the kinds of books which makes it an interesting question. Do educational leaders need to read about what they already know? It might be a good idea to brush up on the skills that make you a great leader and set that example for your staff. 

 

Episode Highlights:
