On episode #397, we discuss two tools which can improve our leadership thinking: thinking gray and thinking free.
Is the ability to make split-second decisions a highly prized skill for classroom leaders?
Yes, there are times where we may be required to make quick decisions in emergency situations or disasters. But in regards to the long-term development of our students, we actually need to be much slower and more deliberate about the decisions we make.
These two leadership tools of thinking gray and thinking free require us to slow down and…think. This means we might need to do less. But slowing down and doing less open up the door to becoming more. When we become more, we become a stronger leader who is better able to serve our students.
