  2. We Can’t Spell Success without “U” A Few Core Beliefs from Kelly Smith

  3. S U C C E S S • Students come first. • Look at everything you do through this lens, regardless of your job in the District. • Work to improve the development (intellectual, emotional, physical), well-being, safety and success of children, enabling them to reach their fullest potential.

  4. S U C C E S S • Urgency • All high performance teams feel a sense of urgency to successfully accomplish the task or project at hand. • Be responsive and proactive regarding needs, questions and concerns. • This is NOT the same thing as short-changing planning and requirements in order to rush the job just so we can “check it off.”

  5. S U C C E S S • Communication & Conversation • Between groups • Within groups • Dispel misperceptions. • Clarify processes and procedures. • Eliminate confusion. • Look for opportunities. • Listen with two ears.

  6. S U C C E S S • Collaboration & Collegiality • People quite people before they quit jobs. • Make a genuine commitment to “fill each others buckets” – motivate, encourage, positive attitude, recognition - to facilitate effective working relationships. • Stay positive and fix the problem together instead of finding who to blame.

  7. S U C C E S S • Enthusiasm • There may be eye-rollers, heavy-sighers and nay-sayers. • Get over it. • Don’t let them stop you from doing the right thing with passion and enthusiasm. • If you want the rainbow, you have to sometimes put up with the rain on your parade.

  8. S U C C E S S • Stay in tune. • Keep your “ear to the ground” and your eyes open. • Get out of your comfort zone. • Walk in other people’s shoes, see things from others’ perspectives in order to improve quality of service for everyone.

  9. S U C C E S S • Stakeholders • Usually have the best ideas • Consensus is not always possible, but input and feedback are always welcome. • Suggest ways to improve service, better meet end-users’ needs, enrich the climate and culture, etc.
