As part of our High Performing School Leader Series Superintendent Shannon Stein of Lake Norman Charter Superintendent was our keynote speaker during "Legends Night" and added incredible value to our charter leaders that came to learn how they can create greater impact on their community.

Shannon laid out for us how she has led Lake Norman Charter School from a good school to a great school.

Here were my takeaways:

1. Set Your Guiding Principles

2. Focus on Mission and Vision First

3. Build a Strong Board

4. Recruit and Develop Your Team

5. Hire great people and get out of their way

6. Set your strategic goals

7. Review and communicate your data often

8. Solve problems as close to the problem as possible

9. Check your ego and never be afraid of feedback as a leader

Thank you Shannon for making a difference tonight.
