Weekend Reflection

I don't know if I am more nervous or excited about being a leader after this weekend. There was a ton of great information, that I am still taking in. All of the finances are overwhelming. It is crucial to have a great business leader in the district to help with the finances. Also, all of the responsibilities and liability the principal and superintendent carry is unbelievable. It makes me realize how important it is to have a hands-on principal. The principal must oversee all areas of the school, though delegating is also important. It is scary to think that a school leader can lose his/her job because someone they trusted did not turn in money or follow through with something important. That brings me to the point that a principal must hire good, trustworthy people. It is critical to be able to trust your staff, and it falls on the principal to make sure to hire great people. I know as a future leader, I will be thorough in my work and make sure I have great relationships with my staff members. That will lead to a productive and positive school.
