"The only way to unleash the creative energy in an organization is to encourage staff to try new techniques and instructional approaches," writes Paula Jorde Bloom in her popular book, A Great Place to Work: Creating a Healthy Organizational Climate. She continues...
"Whether teachers are interested in implementing a new curriculum, experimenting with cutting-edge technology, or exploring different ways to engage families as educational partners, their efforts need to be supported. Find ways to allow those imaginations to soar!
"Encouragement and support, however, should not be limited to praising successes. Teachers also need to know that occasional setbacks are understood to be part of the innovation process. Innovation is directly linked with change. And in any area of organizational change, the director's attitude is most important. If you approach change with enthusiasm and confidence, that spirit will be conveyed to your team."
