Steady as "She" Goes
Remaining "SHIP SHAPE" and "STAYING ON COURSE"
We are all on the SAME SHIP never forget!
A learning organization is "where people continually expand their capacity to create the results they truly desire, where new and expansive patterns of thinking are nurtured, where collective aspiration is set free, and where people are continually learning to see the whole (reality or big picture) together - Peter Senge
Apply this moving forward! Areas to Address
Our organization being organized - processes outlined and shared
Meetings
Flattening the structure does mean shared accountability, responsibility, collaboration, service, and leadership (ownership).
Shared priorities and processes
Looking inside and accepting outside
Adjusting to the currents and bracing for the storms!
We continuously adjust personally and as an organization! But we must be able to put students first.
Discovery - understanding our purposes and setting goals It has to be right for us and we have to have all information (classify and define the issue)
Confirmation - making sure those on our team agree - do we have accurate information
Map it out - we must be strategic, maneuver, educate, allocate, and execute - specify who is in charge of making things happen - have an action plan
Make it So! - Implementation - we must all move together in order to insure successes including allocating resources and people
Monitor Progress - assessment and discuss - we must always adjust
Review - we must come together in meaningful ways at strategic times
