Chris Neville - Ah-HA for Saturday 11/8
After the presentation on motivation, I was struck with the comment that we can only do so much with motivation. That is why extrinsic motivation (money, status) only go so far. This ties into how important it is to hire great people in the first place. Because we as administrators can only do so much to motivate our teachers and support staff. There are no magic words or videos or conferences out there for us to pull out of our you know what to inspire your people.
