Challenge of Leadership
A Garden, Not a Building
“Cultures cannot be built. They are cultivated
like gardens. Culture is organic, not static. A
garden is influenced by internal and external
factors. Flowers left unattended eventually
yield to weeds. School culture (like gardens)
needs constant attention (beliefs, values,
expectations) or toxic weeds will dominate.”
—Dufour and Burnette, 2002

Leaders who strike a proper balance
between stability and change emphasize
two priorities: they work to develop and
support people to do their best, and they
work to redesign their organizations to
improve effectiveness.
Wahlstrom, Seashore Louis, Leithwood, & Anderson, 2010, p. 7

Skills and Dispositions
1. Emotional Intelligence
2. Skilled at Leading Change
3. Strong Communications Skills and Strategic
Communications Skills
Developing and maintaining a cohesive
team with a relentless focus on student
learning is a daunting task. To cultivate
a culture that is always challenging the
status quo and where excellence is the
expectation, school leaders will need to
learn, develop, and demonstrate high
levels of emotional intelligence.
Once I understood the nature of the work, it
helped me relax and be more generous. I
learned that people get frightened if asked
to change their world view: And why
wouldn’t they? Of course people will get
defensive; of course they might be
intrigued by a new idea, but then turn away
in fear.

How to Engage the Disengaged?
“At work, my
opinions do not
seem to count.”
Gallup asked more than 70,000 U.S. employees in 2012 about working
conditions that distinguish highly engaged workplaces from those in which
employees are less engaged.
