What is your school/organization missing?
I am here at ISTE in Denver and attended a pre-conference session, focusing on building teams. If you want to establish a highly functioning collegial organization, you need to implement 10 tactics, according to Rosie and Robert Vojte, authors of Motivate! Inspire! Lead! from Corwin press.
Are you missing quality of life? If you are not providing the necessities for people to be able to live (salary, benefits, etc.) your organization will have low morale.
Are you missing a mission? If you do not have a compelling sense of purpose, your organization will be marked by indifference.
Are you missing adequate communications? If you to not share common vocabulary, build rapport, and exchange meaning, you will foster distrust.
Are you missing accountability? If people do not feel ownership for their results and achieving their goals, you'll be hearing a lot of blame.
Are you missing empowerment? If people do not have the responsibility and authority to hit their goals, they will be constrained.
Are you missing autonomy? If people don't have freedom within will defined boundaries, you will either have dependence or chaos.
Are you missing competencies or capacity? If people don't have the skills to do what they need to, and the group doesn't have the collective skills, you will feel that the individuals and/or organization is inept.
Are you missing relationships? If there aren't connections between people, individuals will feel isolate, lonely, and disconnected.
Are you missing interdependence? If everyone's results and work aren't mutually to each other's, then you will not get cooperation and mutual support.
Are you missing results? If you haven't defined success and aren't measuring progress, you will find ambivalence and conflicting methodologies.
