A culture of accountability will come from turning our attention away from leaders and committing ourselves to creating a deeper sense of community and citizenship. Focus on the questions rather than just the answers. Structure time so that real dialogue is possible. Appreciate that struggling with difficult issues builds commitment and understanding. Slow down the rush to make decisions and invite more reflection and understanding.
Connection precedes content.
Each shift in technology, work process, curriculum design, role or responsibility demands trust, dialogue, and relationship if it is to succeed. Patience is required, feelings need to be valued, and relationships discussed. History needs to be acknowledged and put to rest. Spend more time on purpose and collectively define it rather than expecting the leader to answer all questions and sell the change. Freedom is a choice.
