I really love how you've connected ...Hey Pal, <br /><br />I really love how you've connected preventative maintenance on cars to the kind of work that needs to be done to sustain PLCs over the long run. <br /><br />I think schools often forget that "pulling everything apart" in order to examine the wear spots and make replacements early might be challenging, but is a whole lot easier than seeing the wheels fall off completely. <br /><br />And I'm still wrestling with the question I asked you and Weej over drinks the other night: Do you think that your PLC will survive even after YOU are gone?<br /><br />Or does your PLC thrive and progress and grow BECAUSE of you?<br /><br />That's an important question for me because I'm not sure if PLCs are transforming schools or if great leaders are transforming schools. <br /><br />Having worked for and lost more than one great leader in my day, I can attest that nothing breaks a timing belt quicker. <br /><br />Enjoying thinking with you, <br />Bill Bill Ferriterhttp://bit.ly/temperedradicalnoreply@blogger.com
