classified personnel supervisors?

The McGrath Template System objectives are:
that you are trained and empowered to have people excel around you
out of your leadership

The 4 fundamentals of this course, the dual dynamic of leadership:

A = Action Growth/Foundation
Due process = no surprises, don’t surprise people

What are you hearing the faculty room?
- can’t do anything to us, I know … Due process
- was here before you and will be here when you leave
- One directional act. – adm. not teachers
- ethical issues beat the system
- large agency: more difficult work not acct.
- diff. analysis of internal camps
- identifying perspective
- I’ll go to the union group, need to change thinking to what’s best; need change of philosophy
- change is difficult because of personal issues of retaliation
Pulling together – FEAR People are afraid.
Ex: woman who blew the whistle on the FBI
“Emporer has no clothes”
watch out – adding “…and I think it’s because of” Leave it at: People operate out of a lot of fear. Stay open w/ the inquiry. Looks like a lot of people operate w/ a significant amount of fear. DON’T add the “….because “ That’s YOUR opinion.
Mary Jo Now, recall first memo you wrote this AM – was it corrective or congratulatory? Will that person be “thrilled” to get the memo. Analogy – when the phone rings and it is the Supt. You typically have the “un-oh” reaction – what did I do to what did they find out (Beginning of the IMPOSTER scenario)
