Helping Adults Succeed

03/14/2018

A leader has the vision and conviction that a dream can be achieved. He inspires the power and energy to get it done.

In the book, Developing People in Early Childhood Organizations, Gigi Schweikert provides these principles for helping the adults in an early childhood program be successful:

"Appreciate the skills, talents, experience, and ambition of those you supervise.
Build on the skills and talents of each employee.
Never assume your employees know what you want them to do.
Make your expectations simple and specific.
Communicate your expectations in a variety of ways – verbal meeting, written statement.
Clarify expectations. Ask the employee to tell you what he believes you expect.
Address safety issues first when communicating expectations.
Focus on one job goal that is not being met or where performance is marginal."
