How to Identify Your School's Most Strategic Gap
There's a danger that comes with assessment.
You discover five things you could improve...
and immediately create five new initiatives.
Please don't.
High performance doesn't require you to attack every weakness simultaneously.
It requires discernment.
Because everything in a school is connected.
People affect culture.
Culture affects retention.
Retention affects enrollment.
Enrollment affects finances.
Finances affect operations.
And the connections continue.
That means some Strategic Gaps have much greater leverage than others.
Strengthen one system and you may positively influence several others.
Today's Leadership Question:
If you could strengthen ONE area of your school over the next 90 days, which one would have the greatest impact on the rest of the organization?

Assess → Prioritize → Build → Measure.
Not:
Assess → Panic → Launch 17 initiatives.
