Lead Like A Champion This Week

Lead Like a Champion This Week

You are a Champion!

The Super Bowl isn’t just about the game—it is about leadership, resilience, and stepping up when it matters most. The Chiefs can make history while the Eagles fight for a breakthrough win. No matter the outcome, both teams are showing up prepared, focused, and ready to lead.

As a school administrator, you do the same every single day. You set the vision, make tough calls, and inspire your team to give their best. Some days feel like championship wins, and others feel like uphill battles. But no matter what, your leadership makes a difference.

So, as we head into a new week, remember—you are not just running a school. You are changing lives. Keep leading, keep believing, and keep pushing forward. You’ve got this!

Check out a couple of tips to help you lead like a Champion this week:

    1.    Refocus Your Team’s Energy – Just like a great coach huddles the team before a big game, take time this week to reset and inspire your staff. A quick check-in, an encouraging email, or a staff shoutout can reignite their energy and remind them why their work matters.

    2.    Make Strategic Adjustments – The best teams adjust their game plan when needed. Walk your building, observe classrooms, and identify small changes that could make a big impact. Maybe it’s tweaking a duty schedule, providing extra support to a struggling teacher, or adjusting an upcoming PD session. Small shifts can lead to big wins.

    3.    Celebrate Progress, Not Just Perfection – Super Bowl teams don’t just celebrate the final score—they celebrate every hard-fought moment that gets them there. Recognize the effort your teachers and staff are putting in. Whether it is a handwritten note, a quick “thank you,” or a simple acknowledgment in a meeting, show them their work is valued.

This week, coach your school like a championship team—encourage, adjust, and celebrate. Your leadership sets the tone for success!
