29. Build to Last Workshop: How to Build a Culture of Excellence

Today is Day 3 of the Build to Last Workshop Series! In today's training, I discuss how to build a culture of excellence: Do you want staff that show up excited to work? Staff that supports each other? That don't have constant excuses and excessive call-outs? Staff that take responsibility and pride in their work?   Today I'll cover: How do you envision a culture of innovation and risk-taking? Why gifts are not gratitude and that doesn’t build culture Understanding why teachers and staff members play it safe 10 Ways to build culture consistently The difference between gratitude and appreciation We invited our members, Sara and Susan, on to discuss their top strategies and habits to develop culture. Their habits will shock and inspire you!
