Seeing People as Productive
June 29, 2010
The moment I decided to follow instead of lead, I discovered the joys of becoming part of a small child's world.

"People are weak; and most of us are pitifully weak. People cause problems, require procedures, create chores. And people are a cost and a potential 'threat.' But these are not the reason people are employed. The reason is their strength and their ability to perform....The purpose of an organization is to make the strengths of people productive and their weaknesses irrelevant."
Learning to Lead: Effective Leadership Skills for Teachers of Young Children by Debra Sullivan is written for early childhood teachers at all levels. It combines accessible leadership theory and practice with important topics and issues such as human development, diversity, anti-bias, work with families, and social change. Each chapter is built around a combination of theories, examples, and reflection questions — all designed to prompt self-evaluation and personal leadership development.ExchangeEveryDay

As a childcare I believe that Early Childhood is the crucial time for the all round development . The child is the father of the nation . To make a man
we are to make them all rounder . The purpose of the organization to make
children strength and productive .

What are your opinions and advice of preschool teachers having desks in the classroom and they sit and control children most of the day.I just started working at this center.
I have been teaching 30yrs and have never seen a desk in a classroom.
The teachers always sit at the tables to do lessons at nap time . I am totally amazed that this is happening.
I Could use your advice.
Thank You,
Ms. Henry
