Summer Success Series Pt. 5:
Fight for Your Vision


Biggest Takeaways You Don't Want to Miss:

  • Your big vision will threaten someone else’s small plans.
  • If your vision isn’t worth fighting for, it isn’t worth having.
  • Your number one job as a principal is to promote and protect your vision.  
  • The best defense against accusations that your vision is too big, too much, or too fast is to remind people that every day we don’t pursue 100% means that it will be too late for some students.
  • Nothing - no initiative, no program, no mandate -- is more important than your 100% vision.  
What do you do when someone tries to attack your vision? They say it’s too big, or too much too fast. Or, they act as if they support your vision but they raise questions that shake your confidence or try to delay your vision until later. Or, sometimes they just ignore your vision altogether.
