Bulldog Activities Report
3.7.22 to 3.13.22 (NSAA Week # 36)
Bulldog Rundown
Good morning Bulldog Nation!!!
We have spring sports kicked off and we are fast approaching district/state competitions for our Bulldog Speech team as well as nearing the opening night of the NPHS Musical, "Anastasia'!! We have such talented students and coaches/sponsors here at the high school and I encourage us all to get out these next few months and support them in the activities they represent here at the high school!
As we begin the start of another season, I was challenged by a story I came across yesterday in my reading. It shared a story of two military platoons with two very different leaders over these platoons. The one platoon leader was very detailed, a good communicator, tactically aware, positive, and took responsibility for the platoon. The other leader lacked good communication skills, was negative toward his platoon, and put the blame of their poor performance on the platoon, not taking personal responsibility for himself.
So the higher ups in the military above the platoon leaders decided to switch the two leaders and give them the different platoons. The high level leader continued to shine and was able to get the platoon to perform at a high level, even outperforming the platoon he was formerly leading. The lower level leader was able to maintain his new platoon's performance, but they eventually were outpaced by the other platoon. The biggest take away the higher ups took from this experiment in leadership was "there are no bad TEAMS, only bad LEADERS".
May we be reminded that each one of us as leaders in our respective areas have the power to guide and direct where our teams/organizations go!!! With a clear plan in place, high expectations, clear communication, positive feedback, and extreme ownership ALL of our programs here at NPHS can perform at a high level and far outpace the normal expectations placed upon them!
FOUR BULLDOG FUNDAMENTALS
HARD WORK: I cannot say it enough for all of our programs here at NPHS...Hard Work Pays Off (HWPO). As we begin new seasons, may we not lose sight that it is the day to day discipline and grind that helps us to achieve at a high level. It is never the grand statements or one-time actions that produce high level results. On the contrary, it is the day in and day out effort that produces great results in what we do!
DETAILS/ORGANIZATION: Have a plan in place for everything you do within your program!!! Details matter to all the stakeholders involved!!! The more detailed and planned out you can be heading into the season, the more freedom it provides you to focus on other first dimension topics and give you the freedom to pursue second and third dimension strategies with your students and staff!
COMMUNICATION: Have a plan in place to continue to communicate at a high level with all stakeholders in your program. For the spring activities that are starting make sure you are making time to meet with your coaches/sponsors, students, and parents to clearly communicate expectations/rules/schedules for your respective activities. Let us finish strong in our consistency and clarity of communication to all the stakeholders around our program!
FOCUS ON PROCESS: As I have said all year, we want to focus on the process of improvement as we go through our respective seasons. When we focus on process goals instead of outcome or performance goals, we provide the room for our students and coaches/sponsors to FAIL and LEARN/GROW from those failures. As we go through the course of a season, we can see the growth from those failures and put ourselves and our teams in the best position to be successful at the most important time of the year, the post-season!
