Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs

Stephen R. Covey (1989)

Independence (Habits 1-3)

• Habit 1: Be Proactive Take responsibility for your choices and the consequences that follow.

• Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind Envision the ideal characteristics for each of your various roles and

relationships in life.

• Habit 3: Put First Things First A manager must manage his own person. Personally. And managers should

implement activities that aim to reach the second habit.

Interdependence (Habits 4-6)

• Habit 4: Think Win-Win Value and respect people by understanding a "win" for all is ultimately a

better long-term resolution than if only one person in the situation had got

his/her own way.

• Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to be

Understood Use empathic listening to be genuinely influenced by a person, which

compels them to reciprocate the listening and take an open mind to being

influenced by you.

• Habit 6: Synergize Combine the strengths of people through positive teamwork, so as to

achieve goals no one person could have done alone.

Continuous Improvements (Habit 7)

• Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw o Balance and renew your resources, energy, and health to create a

sustainable, long-term, effective lifestyle.

“Leaders don’t create followers, they create more

leaders.” -Tom Peters

(Re) Building a Climate

Shattered Myths from “Built to Last” Collins and Porras 1994

• Myth: oVisionary companies require great and

charismatic visionary leaders.

• Reality: oNot required, in fact can be detrimental to

the long term prospects.

Shattered Myths, cont. from “Built to Last” Collins and Porras 1994

• Myth:

oVisionary companies are constantly changing.

• Reality: oThey preserve the “core ideology”.

They create a “guiding beacon” for others to follow, an “enduring star on the horizon.”

Shattered Myths, cont. from “Built to Last” Collins and Porras 1994

• Myth: o The most successful companies focus

primarily on beating the competition.

• Reality: oVisionary companies focus on “beating

themselves”. Ask the question “How can we improve ourselves to do better tomorrow than we did today?”

Principal Top Ten David Letterman top 10 things to remember about your job (or maybe it is "everything you need to be successful you learned in Kindergarten) 10. You are responsible for everything that happens in and around your building...you, no one else 9. Share the victories, it takes a lot of people to make it happen 8. Accept the defeat, even if it really was not your fault 7. Someone is watching you....all the time. What do you want them saying?

Principal Top Ten (continued)

6. 24 hour rule

5. Good decisions take time

4. God gave you 2 eyes, 2 ears and one mouth, use

them proportionately. (this means you should be

watching and listening 80 percent of the time)

3. You are not a leader if no one is following.

2. You have friends that care about you and have

been there...use them

Principal Top Ten (continued)

1. There is nothing more important than your

family...20 years from now

your family is not going to

say "gee mom or dad, you

were a great ____________".

The Vision: CAN YOU? In order for

students

to pursue

their life goals,

by 2020

Jeffco Public Schools

Webpage Main page story with link to tool

May use web story as main link in other promotion or direct to on-line tool

Email to principals in early January:

Please explain to SAC how community budget tool complements DAC-SAC Questionnaire and ask SAC for assistance in promoting parent participation

• Ask schools to promote budget tool during teacher conferences/open houses/other school meetings

• Have kiosks available to parents to use on-line budget tool while at school meetings or parent conferences

• Have as agenda item at a staff meeting and encourage staff participation

• Include info in school level parent newsletters

• School Messenger call from principal to remind parents to participate once the tool is live

• Links to resources (video, flyer, web links, talking points)

Social media

Paid promotion via Facebook (assuming Finance has funding)

Telephone town hall

Four telephone town halls, North/South/Central/Mountains
