[Ous-lp-rp13] Response to 6010 Question # 1. Re: EDAD 6010 Answer to Question #1

[Gamon, Angelica]

Ashton, I like that you wrote that principals have to work with others to
achieve their goal. I am speaking as a past manager of food service, I have
to agree with that statement 100%. I know that leadership qualities is very
important to run a successful job, such as, education, food service,
retail. It is very important to work with others and do it as a team to
achieve the goal that is set. We will have to set an example to our staff
of what is expected from them on a daily basis. We have to be both firm and
open-minded to other ideas that may be presented. Communication in my eyes
are one of the most important things that we as managers have to have with
our staff. I know as a teacher, I do not like to feel I am left in the dark
or surprised by changes that occurring. I am one that likes to think ahead
and have an idea of what may be happening within our district. Your last
sentence, is exactly what we need as administrators need to do. Manage and
lead our school.
