Leading With Intention Review

Have you ever read a book or attended a workshop that you thought presented great ideas, but left you wondering how you can implement whatever the topic was?  In Leading With Intention: How School Leaders Can Unlock Deeper Collaboration and Drive Results, Michael Nelson and Peter DeWitt offer practical strategies to help educational leaders understand the importance of self-awareness, develop the human interconnectedness needed to get the most out of collaboration, create the best conditions to act jointly, engage in intentional professional development focused on student learning, and systematically execute their plan.  By incorporating research with personal stories and encouraging reflection, this interactive resource is really a “how to” guide and workbook.  It provides the research to introduce an initiative, but also guides you to develop your own plan to make it happen.  

Max DePree warned, "In the end, it is important to remember that we cannot become what we need to be by remaining what we are."  Careful planning is the bedrock of successful change implementation, serving as the blueprint that guides organizations through the complex process of transformation. It lays the groundwork for understanding the current state, defining the desired future state, and navigating the path between them. Through meticulous planning, stakeholders can identify potential obstacles, devise strategies to mitigate risks, allocate resources effectively, and ensure alignment to your mission. Moreover, it fosters buy-in and commitment from your educational colleagues by providing clarity, transparency, and opportunities for involvement, thereby reducing resistance and increasing the likelihood of successful adoption.  Leading With Intention is the GPS that will guide you to your objective.
