    The Principal Leadership Lab 2.0, with Cindy Bailey

    Cindy Bailey, Dean of Northeast Wisconsin Tech College, sits down with Jeff & Adam, on The Principal Leadership Lab 2.0.  Some key highlights shared with us:  What you start with doesn’t have to be the ending. Pay attention to the doors, because there are opportunities on the other side. Always wanted to be on the sidelines, but made a shift. Worked with a trucking company to share the business with HS students….eventually led to the UW system despite not having the necessary credentials. The campus dean took a gamble on Cindy and her hunger for learning. Lots of preparation for her current role, lot of influences

The XFactor example of humility and how the singer’s lack of humility played a role in the discussion with his daughter. Jim Collins -  humility and determination is what we need to move from good to great. …companies like the Kellogg Company, Tinder, Kronos, E. & J. Gallo Winery, World Wide Technology, and Teach For America are just a few other successful companies that have committed to “humility” as a core organizational value. (from Matt’s research) Humility as a mindset We are incomplete until we take our last breath …and where is it “taught” in the curriculum? Humility allows you to take risks. Why isn’t humility at the front and center?  Possible western culture of winning versus introspection. What top two skills do you recommend that new educational leaders need to have at the ready? Questions and action in the book will provide guidance. Go back to humbling yourself.  Our perspective is just one POV. Grow from your mistakes.  We need each other. The Undercover Boss is a great example to observe without limits.  Ask, How do they need me? Collective humility as an organization. HOPEFUL My own kids - my two boys, that they grow up and be wonderful humans.
