Mary’s Minute
“Remember,
teamwork begins by building trust. And the only way to do that is to overcome
our need for invulnerability." --Patrick Lencioni
I do
not take it for granted that I have been part of an incredible team at Perry
Central over the years. And when I say team, I really mean multiple
teams. I feel like I am part of the
overall Perry Central team that encompasses the entire school community working
together for our students. I am proud to be part of the team with our supportive
school board.
The
team I probably work most closely is our administrative team. We solve
problems together, we laugh together, we work hard together, and we make
mistakes together. I think part of being a team member is always assuming
that your partners have the best intentions.
Today one of the administrators said, “I hope I didn’t step on your
toes.” I replied, “When we are all dancing the same dance, we can’t step
on each other’s toes.” When we work with the same goal in mind, come at situations
with the same set of values, and trust each other, we don’t get upset with each
other when mistakes are made.
I
believe that part of a winning team is believing that every member is doing
his/her best and has good intentions! I make mistakes often, but my hope
is that my team members know that I mean well, and in my heart I am doing my
best, so they can trust me. Great team members trust each other. I am proud to be part of a trusting PC team,
dancing the same dance!
Have
a great week!
Mary
