A2 for me it's the level of anger and aggression across the board. We have to learn how to treat each other with a touch of humanity. I focus on that heavily in the class on human skills #leadlap

A1: It is so important to get accurate information from a variety of reliable sources...but to also not fall into the rabbit hole of doomscrolling. Get the info you need, stay informed...then get out w/o letting it suck you into the abyss. #LeadLAP

I have been reaching out to local schools in Vancouver, WA to make connections! Was happy to deliver a staff set of journals, a signed #tlap, & a copy of #SheLeadsk12 to Hazel Dell Elementary principal, Lisa Reed, yesterday! #LeadLAP #dbcincbooks #EduSky

Agreed. I always try to ask what they might bring that we don't have or that will help us to grow #LeadLAP
A3 My favorite one has to do with being a teammate and what will make them the best new teammate. This question was asked late in the interview so that the interviewee had more familiarity with the interview team. Teammates aren't just followers. They need to be leaders, too. #LeadLAP

A3 Ultimately, the questions are important but the responses, and listening for what the candidate is really saying, is more important. Sometimes as the interviewer you think you know the answer and then you hear the candidates answer and realize that that's the real answer. #LeadLAP

My favorite interview that I had coming here was when the students interviewed me. #LeadLAP
A2 I don't have any specific questions but I do have a process. Include staff and students if age appropriate on the team. As principal I asked none of the questions. I watched the room to see how the new hire connected with the interviewers. You can learn a lot by listening. #LeadLAP

Morning Jay. Hope all is well. It's the conversations... Always talking to people and making sure we are clear #LeadLAP
A1 Having regular one on one conversations with all teammates to discuss our collective focus is important to keep rowing in the same direction. Continuing those conversations in small groups helps all to see we are on the same page. #LeadLAP
