Leadership Blog Two

To me, Lisa is a clear leader in our school. She is department coordinator of Modern Languages and plays an integral role on the technology committee. She utilizes technology in her classroom and makes sure we all have access to technology via her role in the technology committee. Since I started working at Mt. Blue I have looked to her as a leader. It is interesting for me to have our roles reversed in some respects.

It’s funny, because I thought “leading” a leader would be more challenging. My fear was that Lisa would be so used to leading that she may have trouble when not in that role. My fears were allayed immediately. Lisa has been comfortable taking on the role of a passenger on this journey, and I am thankful for this. Our personalities are compatible. We’re both fairly laid back and accessible, but we also have clear goals and high expectations for our students. Collaborating with Lisa has been simple so far. I almost feel a bit guilty because the meeting and collaboration process has been so straightforward as I know this is not the case for everyone in our cohort.
