Leadership Connector, Competence
This chapter so far is my favorite. Motivation to learn helps one to seek competence. In the chapter I love the story about Oscar who with just a high school diploma had enough motivation to seek knowledge in areas he had no previous experience and he knew by doing so it would benefit his career path and advance him on the job. Perseverance is the key in becoming a competent administrator. I love the quote: “A competent leader can get efficient service from poor troops, while on the contrary an incapable leader can demoralize the best of troops.” I aspire to be the leader to empower my team and by doing so they will experience self-efficacy.
I totally agree. I too have had my share of adversity but have kept going. I may not be in my "dream" job but I am doing work that is fulfilling and invigorating. I try to show my team that they need this kind of attitude in order to bring about change at our school.
