Work with a Vision
August 7, 2017
A child loves play, not because it’s easy, but because it’s hard.

"It's striking to hear teachers describe the contrast between directors who work with a vision and those who settle for how things are," writes Margie Carter in the book, Leading Early Childhood Organizations, part of the Art of Leadership series.
Carter quotes teachers who describe a visionary director this way:
"'She's always got a twinkle in her eye,' is always 'showing us pictures or little quotes to expand our thinking,' or 'keeps her eye on the prize even when our budget comes up short.'"
Carter explains that, "Teachers can sense when directors are moving their program forward toward a bigger dream, even as they are thwarted by the crisis of the week. The climate is quite different than one limited to following the rules and regulations or resigning the program to the limitations of the moment."
