Example is Better than Precept

In last week’s episode on Empowering Your School, one tactic I offered was Lead by Doing.

This tactic can also work for crafting changes in school culture. A leader’s action will instigate the first steps faster than a thousand well-worded precepts.

After you take the first step, it’s much easier to take the second step and for others to follow suit. And this is critical because culture change requires a tribe, not a hero.

A tribe is about action. People acting together. People taking steps together.

Systemic challenges require systemic steps. Words rarely are enough. Example is better than precept.

Example is better than precept for effective school leadership.
