Employees are invited to learn what is going on at every level of the organization, so they can understand how their actions influence others. People feel free to inquire about each others' assumptions and biases. There are few, if any, sacred cows or undiscussable subjects. People treat each other as colleagues. There's a mutual respect and trust in the way they talk to each other and work together, no matter what their position may be.
People feel free to try experiments, take risks, and openly assess the results.
No one is hurt for making a mistake. A key to successful planning and implementation is the development of teams. The processes described and tools provided in this module will assist you in developing these attributes in your district or school and to successfully lead change and plan for technology.
