Chapter One and Two dealt with the very basics of communications as a leader on a school campus. The fundamental sections that really caught my interest was this statement. The princpal is the keeper of the vision. This is a statement that I have never looked at this way. Yet, when you think about it. If the principal doesn't refer us back to this vision we as a cohesive group get away from it. The principal must ensure that we all work together as a team. Epecially when a school mus decide how to reach the goals we have estashbliehes. When the principal can communicate this. This is how the textbook states the principal will be precieved.
A. Believes in devloping common vision
B. Values, respet, and integry are in tact.
C. Caes about indiviuals and ight even challenge those who don't show respect and integrity
D. May give everyone help with their frustrations.
I agree with you on your discussion of the principal, or leader, being the "keeper of the vision." It's important to be able to communicate that vision in words and actions. I like how you acknowledged that, unfortunately, sometimes we must challenge those who are not working towards that common vision, or who are not doing so with respect. While it might lead to some uncomfortable conversations, it is worth it to have your words and actions both focus on reaching that shared vision and goal.
