Most of us were trained that our job as administrators is to be a problem solver. So we dutifully go into work and spend all our time trying to solve problems. Except, that means…

• We spend all our time trying to get teachers to implement our solutions "with fidelity."
• Everyone comes to us to solve their problems and no one is taking ownership.
• We feel pressure to always have the answers.
• The work seems never-ending.

Builders know that being a problem solver is a trap. That's why Builders don't worry about solving problems. Instead, Builders focus on finding the right problems to solve and then work with our staff and students to help them solve their own problems. So check out today's podcast where you'll discover how to get out of the problem-solving trap and empower others to solve their own problems #LikeABuilder.
