The 7 Secrets of Motivating & Inspiring Your Team

By Betty Hollas

Uncommon leadership is what sets the exceptional school apart from the rest of the pack-that "extra something" that makes some schools such outstanding places to work and to learn. Uncommon leadership is about more than encouraging everyone to do his or her individual best. It's about inspiring the whole team to do better than that, because they're working together and everybody's striving for common goals. In these pages, Betty Hollas shows exactly how you can learn the power of listening well; serve as an "emotional guide for others"; build collaboration; facilitate change; manage conflict; set boundaries; and maintain your motivation. Betty knows the difficult teacher, the angry parent, and the staff member who "retired and just forgot to tell anybody." She's met them in her own schools. And she's learned-sometimes the hard way!-how to handle all of them. In the 7 Secrets of Motivating & Inspiring Your Team, she tells you how to meet those common challenges and, more important, how to see beyond them. She shares her insights and experiences, adds the findings from the latest research, and provides practical, no-nonsense advice for going beyond the daily "to do" list to become that truly uncommon leader. Whether you are or aspire to be a principal, assistant principal, coach, team leader, curriculum specialist, department chair, district office leader, or classroom teacher, you'll find in this book the tools and understanding you need to motivate and inspire your team.
