The best leaders:

Are self-aware
Lead with humility
Balance support and challenge
Fight for the highest good in the lives of those they lead
Are intentional, not accidental
Are secure, confident, humble
Call people up, not out

Be worth following.

The best leaders fight for the highest good of those they lead.

Paige Bueckers is that kind of leader (in addition to being a world class player).

You are not entitled to the blind commitment or trust of your team. Your title may give you power and authority, but true influence is earned through character.

Lead with integrity and selflessness daily. Be worth following.

Less entitlement, more humility.

You won’t like it sometimes, but you find out that the people in your life who don’t allow you to take shortcuts or make excuses & hold you accountable, are the people who care for you the most. It’s not personal. It’s all about teaching you, preparing you & helping you improve!

If we are changing the standards to get teachers in the classroom because of the massive shortages, then there is NO reason we can't do away with the draconian teacher evaluations.

Leaders: your team won’t remember you for your speeches, grand ideas or innovative strategies.

They’ll remember you for your availability, humility, encouragement, for making them better.

Influence is built by being intentional in the everyday moments.

I remember their names, the stories about them, how their families and their community suffered with their loss. I mourn all that they could have been.

Leaders: you aren't called to make the easy decision, the popular decision, the comfortable decision.

You are called to make what, in your judgment, is the right, best decision.

Popular may win the day. The standard wins in the long run.

You don’t just show up and expect to be great. That’s entitlement.

You do the work that greatness requires. Develop the habits, mindset, skills, culture needed to be ready in the moment.

Show up on purpose. Do the work.

If you want to know about the culture of a school, notice how the adults greet the kids each morning.

It will tell you a lot.

You will fail. You will fall down. You will make the wrong decision. You will experience setbacks.

This normal. This is life. This is the path. Expect it. What matters is what you do next.

Get up. Learn from it. Keep moving forward.
