Work With a Vision

Bearing and nurturing, Creating but not owning, Giving without demanding, This is harmony.
Tao Te Ching

“It’s striking to hear teachers describe the contrast between directors who work with a vision and those who settle for how things are,” writes Margie Carter in the book, Leading Early Childhood Organizations. The word ‘vision’ isn’t always used, but they excitedly describe how their director really inspired them…is always, ‘showing us pictures or quotes to expand our thinking”…

Teachers can sense when directors are moving their program forward toward a bigger dream, even as they are thwarted by the crisis of the week. The climate is quite different than one limited to following the rules and regulations or resigning the program to the limitations of the moment…

Teachers not only want to work with visionary directors, they want to dream and plan along with them.”
