I kept ...Thanks Howie for your kind words, always. I kept saying those last couple of weeks: "I did my best. I burnt myself out both personally and professionally. I tried my hardest." And I truly believe that I did. I now can pass the torch on to someone else in hopes that they can make things happen, for our students' benefit. Thanks for always believing in me, it means so much. :)Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10071096768527336687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400409055924139965.post-30530890082644374792011-05-25T23:42:48.790-07:002011-05-25T23:42:48.790-07:00When one is in a position of leadership, they are ...When one is in a position of leadership, they are often judged by the behavior or success of those they lead. This is a mistake. Each individual must take responsibility for his or her own actions, his or her own motivations and his or her own success or failure. Ask yourself if you attacked your job with grace and dignity. Ask yourself if you wanted each individual to succeed. Ask yourself if you valued each person as unique and special. Ask yourself if you sought to compromise for the sake of the students without compromising your values. Ask yourself if you were in a difficult situation with people very set in their ways. If you can say yes to these questions, then you can be proud of what you did and move on to your next challenge. <br />P. S. I think I know you well enough to know the answer to these questions.<br />Have a great summer! Howie...Howard Rothenberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00773692964182534586noreply@blogger.com
