A great time was had by all at the BigConvening's EdCafe on "What I've Learned About Great Governing," a rolling conversation using video and visual triggers from the above PowerPoint (to view, go here). Tough to beat: Veterans mentoring new members and new members bringing fresh insights and questions to the veterans.
While this FlipSnack version doesn't show the videos, here are some of the conversational keys:
- Maturity and mentoring - crucial for good-to-great governing
- Mr. Mayhem (from the All State Insurance commercials) - the opposite of excellence
- We expect all the leaders' actions in our schools to be good-to-great...we hope all these actions of ING are providing excellence...
- What is our unique ING...governING
- What quality of governing will be our legacy? How would you describe it?
- While the BIG responsibility for candidate development is with the local team (modeling, mentoring, guiding...), the CASB network has a wealth of stories, supports and tips throughout the season. Stay tuned!
- Let's talk about what it takes to mature actions common to great governing teams...
- Knowing, trusting, respecting
- Supporting, developing, healthily challenging
- Chosing wisely, maturely, together
- Staying framed and focused on the wildly important through policy leadership
- Leading the learning
- We concluded with a wide ranging discussion around Peter Lencioni's "Five Dysfunctions of Teams"
