Dear Blake Families:
I hope this update finds everyone doing well, and that this past weekend was a good one - the weather certainly has been wonderful! We had a great weekend, enjoying the autumn weather and watching the Boston teams!
- Once I believed I could rely on my own knowledge base. Now I believe I must be wary of my “blind spots” and actively encourage honest feedback from many in order to gain insight on what I do not even know to ask.
- Once I believed in communication to all constituents. Now I believe in conversation with all members of our community.
- Once I believed it necessary to listen to the content and ignore the emotion in people’s words. Now I believe it is vital to listen to both content and emotion; choosing sensitively when to respond to the content of people’s words, when to respond to the emotion, and when to respond to both.
- Once I believed we all needed to comply with the requirements of our supervisors and cooperate with the priorities of our peers. Now I believe we must all collaborate to achieve a shared mission and vision.
