From Vision to Reality: Leading a Balanced Life
Blackburn, Barbara R.; Womack, Jason W.
Principal Leadership, v7 n8 p34-37 Apr 2007
In this article, the author discusses three steps that will help administrators build a system that allows them to bring balance back into their life. The first step is to create a picture of how things could be, because real change always comes from the inside. The second step is adjusting their attitude. Controlling their attitude is as important as controlling their actions. The third step is organizing their time, efforts, and priorities. These steps are not simplistic and may not be easy, but they are worth their weight in gold. Administrators can use these steps to create individualized strategies that will support their vision.
