A leader has the vision and conviction that a dream can be achieved. He inspires the power and energy to get it done.
-Ralph Lauren
In the book, Developing People in Early Childhood Organizations, Gigi Schweikert provides these principles for helping the adults in an early childhood program be successful:
- "Appreciate the skills, talents, experience, and ambition of those you supervise.
- Build on the skills and talents of each employee.
- Never assume your employees know what you want them to do.
- Make your expectations simple and specific.
- Communicate your expectations in a variety of ways – verbal meeting, written statement.
- Clarify expectations. Ask the employee to tell you what he believes you expect.
- Address safety issues first when communicating expectations.
- Focus on one job goal that is not being met or where performance is marginal."
