Rachel Deems, the Head of School at SDS, has assembled a dynamic leadership team that is well-prepared to make 2018-19 a remarkably successful year. With a long history of delivering an outstanding educational experience, this school is launching into a new season of growth using a growth plan that is tailored to their unique strengths and assets.
Our leadership retreat is designed to fine tune the three core components of a school's growth engine:
Yesterday we identified tactical goals to be achieved in the first quarter of this school year. This will enable them to test a few hypotheses regarding their growth plan before starting a long-term strategic plan to refine their vision and marketing positioning.
Today we will take an important step to exponentially increase the completion of these goals--so that we're planning for success not just hoping for it.
The secret to achieving your growth goals? Write down a plan that says EXACTLY who, when, and where the necessary steps will occur. That simple step creates concrete actions that are more likely to happen because your team can visually see themselves moving from thinking about it to doing it.
We love growing schools and the people who have the courage to lead them, and we look forward to continuing this journey with the SDS team.
