The Leadership Triangle
July 6, 2016
If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude.
-Maya Angelou

In The Visionary Director, Margie Carter and Deb Curtis unveiled the concept of a leadership triangle representing with three sides "equally balanced and focused on our vision of early childhood programs as learning communities for children, families, and staff.  Each side of the triangle (managing and overseeing, coaching and mentoring, and building and supporting community) is integral to the whole and incorporates our values of progressive education and anti-bias practices, as well as the pedagogical principles of social constructivism, inquiry, and critical thinking."

"The notion of a triangle to represent this framework works well because we believe that each side of your management work is of equal importance.  Keep in mind the notion of balance.  If attention isn't given equally to all sides of the triangle, it becomes lopsided.  At that point, both director and program are in danger of collapsing."
