BARBER BULLETIN
Week of January 23-27
Leader in Me ---- Learning and Living
Stay focused on the foundation. Don’t move so fast that you forget about trust and communication.
Teach the matrix. The matrix starts and must do it with fidelity. Be intentional about teaching the 7 habits - this is a priority and a big rock!
Be an advocate to go and see it! Visit a Leader in Me school. Reflect. Divide and conquer with purpose.
- Continue to work on living the habits. It’s so hard! They should be integral to who you are. Common language matters. Have you checked in with your Accountability partners lately? Find time to do this!
