This week focused on the relational aspects of businesses and schools. It made me think about the staff at our school and how diverse each person is. We are currently going through a hiring process for a new position and it makes me wonder what our school leaders take into consideration when hiring. I have never been on the hiring committee, so I am not aware of the questions or criteria.
I reflected this week on getting the right people on your team and getting the wrong ones off, whether this is a statement we should follow or throw out. I also reflected on emotional intelligence plays into a team dynamic and leadership. My thoughts this week made an impact on Jule, Sara L., Josie, and Larissa. Jule and I work together and she agreed with my thoughts and noted how tricky it can be to work in a small town. Sara was curious about the EI quiz I took and noted that we should teach our kids how to work with a wide array of people as well. Josie connected with my role as a special education teacher because she has daughters on IEP’s, she saw how a team worked together for her girls to help them learn. Larissa made the connection between people who have lost their moral purpose and the high rates of teacher burnout, that we should continue to inspire those on our team. I learned from Larissa this week and how we should do everything we can to make a team successful. This includes having a diverse group of people. Jule shared examples of how leaders need to meet the needs of many people and some people view leadership differently than others. Josie shared that she struggled with the EQ this week and about whether to get the wrong people off or not. She noted that we should have a relationship with others to continue to motivate them. Overall, this week has made me realize how important connections and relationships with my team are. I want to work on my EI and how I can make others feel heard.
