The best legacy that I left when I stepped down as the CEO was my school leadership team.
I had 11 people who served in a variety of leadership positions. Seven of them served in positions into which they grew over time. 😍
When I started a school, it was pretty much just me. As the school began I realized I needed to empower more people and distribute leadership.🕵️
What I had been doing was just NOT SUSTAINABLE.
Here is how I built an amazing team:
1. Find people who are BETTER than you. Yes, you read that correctly. Figure out what areas of your program where you aren’t an expert in and find someone who is. 💞
2. Empower those who are BETTER than you to take action to support the teachers and staff. Create positions if you need to! 💪
3. Invest in the growth of those people to GROW their leadership. 👩🏫
4. TRUST them to complete their tasks with quality.🎖
Be CLEAR with your expectations ‼️ VOILA, you are growing your team 🙂
In friendship, love and leadership,
