How to Keep District Mandates
from Derailing Your Plans

Biggest Takeaways You Don't Want to Miss:
  • Bosses tend to react to new mandates. Such emotional responses keep you from proactively moving forward.  
  • Leaders respond to new mandates. While that’s better than reacting, it still puts you in a passive position and leaves every goal you pursue vulnerable.
  • Builders anticipate threats to their goals and make “context agnostic” decisions that help them maintain their momentum regardless of whatever mandate comes down the pike.
