Getting everyone in an organization to pull their oars in the same direction is some combination of asking people where they want to go, and having steady hands on a tiller that sets a direction.
Justin Reich explains that leadership is a dance between bringing people together around ideas they care about and pointing a light in a set direction. This is so true as schools embark on creating, strengthening or revising a school vision. A leader needs to be relentless in a pursuit to connect with stakeholders, to build relationships based on trust, and to know when to listen and when to forge ahead.
