Bubbling Up

When in leadership, sometimes it’s easy to focus on the negatives cause only the worst stuff bubbles up. The higher you go the worst the stuff is that comes up.

When you’re a teacher, any issues in your class that you can’t handle are passed on to admin. When you’re an admin, any issues in your school that you can’t handle are passed on to the superintendent.

Who does the superintendent pass things on to?

Part of being a leader is recognizing that - no matter the level - we need to seek advice but also lead by taking care of our own issues.

I can only imagine what issues bubble up past my principal level to the superintendent level (or be horrified when the stories are heard). Tonight’s prayers are for the leaders above and below.
