A critical part of leadership is to develop a culture within the organization where trust, respect and honesty are continuously present. A great leader must creat a place people want to be a part of and be proud of, as Simon Sinek discusses below- great leaders must make people feel values and safe in their environment if they want to have a shared vision, goals and real engagement.

There are very few items more important than a strong, effective Governance team created between the Board of Education and the Superintendent. Each year the Superintendent and staff is evaluated on goals and objectives to help reach continuous improvement goals. Through the partnership of The Michigan Leadership Institute, we can assist your Board Of Education in an effective Self-Evaluation process. This process is based on national standards, is relatively quick and painless for each member. A trained consultant works with the Governance team to complete the process, identify areas of strength and potential areas of opportunity to develop throughout the year for the Board.

The goal of the process is to develop a highly functioning LEADERSHIP team.

If you are interested, you can contact any MLI consultant for more information.

MLI is excited to be partnering with Hulings and Associates to offer Personality / Behavior Assessment to help ensure optimal cultural fit using the science of psychological theory

and behavioral analysis. By identifying the behaviors, motivators, and influencers active in

your culture, the analysis provides you with information to assist with identifying gaps between the the Board my be seeking and the candidate may posses. The Board can utilize the information to select a candidate. Together the team will work on the areas to form a stronger governance body. This creates a better fit and positive results for all.

You can also use this with your leadership team to strengthen your team’s effectiveness.

Do you know someone ready to lead or for the next step? Our state needs the best leaders to help carry us all forward, be a mentor, or look for the next wonderful opportunity for yourself.
