Leadership+Philosophy


 * I believe in the following principles regarding leadership:**

Leadership is an on-going process of developing and nurturing working relationships with others that share a common vision and goals aligned with the our school district’s mission statement: “We commit ourselves to educate young people to become life-long learners, caring individuals, and responsible citizens empowered to meet today's challenges and realize tomorrow's dreams.” (Oshkosh Area School District, 2010).

If we are bound by this vision and mission statement, it will give us a sense of purpose, and our goals can be adapted and developed along the way. Making a difference in our students’ lives will not only benefit their families but also impact our community as a whole.

An effective leader can be the agent of change when guided by a vision. He or she should emphasize the common goal everyday. It is important to be flexible and trust the process of change. It is a leader’s responsibility to guide the dynamics of a team; each member can collectively contribute their talents and strengths to accomplish short and long-term goals.
