As I try to think and consider myself as architect, sculptor, a mediator or a
horticulturist and asking myself what kind of skills that I need to learn. Honestly,
I have to say, “everything.” It seems very odd but personally, I think by being
the architect, sculptor, mediator and horticulturist even though as the
director we should not miss any skills that will contribute our program. Even
though we already learn and know what should be done but the most important
thing is we should be aware of what we might miss and forget. Personally, I
think by maintaining high standards and stay on top of every important aspects
of the program are crucial and might be the most important goal that every
leader in every single career should have. Concentrating on a particular skill
is not the key to success. The key to success of the leader is to be rounded
how they balance the work equally.
Hi Yhardsom,
ReplyDeleteIn considering your three blogs this week - respect seems to part of each response. How might respect of a director's role by a director further respect between director and child, director and teacher, director and staff, director and community, and director and families? What is respect? How is it defined? Could different participants (director, teacher, etc) define respect in different manners? Is a collective definition necessary? How might discussions and actions related to culture and transitions further define and enact respect?

Hi Som,
ReplyDeleteYour post brings up an important point about being a well-rounded individual. I admire your humility in understanding that we can always be improving ourselves as professionals. How can a director manage the challenges and shortcomings of the program? And how can we become aware of these factors? How can directors use and value staff in supporting the goal of high standards?
