In this episode, I discuss 7 Things Effective School Leaders Do Over the Summer. Summer is here. While schools are closed for the summer, most school leaders and principals are working over the summer. It is important then to catch your breath and recharge your leadership battery.
Although the work never stops, recharging your leadership battery and creating margin are very important to your leadership development and longevity. You need to stop and recharge.
John Maxwell, in his book The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership, reminded us of the “Law of the Lid,” which states that your leadership ability determines your potential to be effective. Having a commitment to growth and personal improvement is the only way to improve as a leader.
John said, “Once a leader improves his or her life, then everybody within their sphere of influence, their lives improve.”
As school leaders, how you spend your summer months could define how effective you are in the new school year.
As you listen, pay close attention to the 7 things effective school leaders and principals do over the summer to prepare for the next school year.
