29. Build to Last Workshop: How to Build a Culture of Excellence

Today is Day 3 of the Build to Last Workshop Series! In today's training, I discuss how to build a culture of excellence: Do you want staff that show up excited to work? Staff that supports each other? That don't have constant excuses and excessive call-outs? Staff that take responsibility and pride in their work?   Today I'll cover: How do you envision a culture of innovation and risk-taking? Why gifts are not gratitude and that doesn’t build culture Understanding why teachers and staff members play it safe 10 Ways to build culture consistently The difference between gratitude and appreciation We invited our members, Sara and Susan, on to discuss their top strategies and habits to develop culture. Their habits will shock and inspire you! The top practices they implement to sustain culture Weaving values into everything they are doing Willingness to engage in difficult conversations Setting clear boundaries "I realized that culture wasn't just someone at the top sprinkling it down on everyone below them, it is more about training each person on their role and responsibility to define the culture." Sara “As I created clearer boundaries, the teachers are actually excited to invite me into their classrooms to observe!” Susan Click here to watch the replay.
