Bringing People on Board
• Considered staff as stakeholders
• “ ‘All on board’ beats ‘All are bored’ ” (p. 73)
• Philosophical differences existed
• AB Combs piloted program first
• Other stakeholders = parents, community leaders and business leaders
Alignment and Organizational Structure
• AB Combs attached leader to titles for all staff
• Teachers as leaders - committees, correlates, and special projects
• Community service leadership
Leadership Roles
Classrooms - all students were leaders

Training
• AB Combs and other schools suggest training all staff– Understand and live Covey’s Seven Habits
of Highly Effective People– Train on using Baldrige Principles– Revisit and add to tools and 7 Habits– Infuse 7 Habits into curricular lessons– Use The Leader in Me website
Aligning Rewards System
• More than just compliments• Reflect 4 basic needs of all
people (physical, social-emotional, mental, and spiritual)
• Meaningful to students• “Just showing up to school each
day can be a reward.” (p. 85)
RewardsTeachers choose which traits to reinforce
Level 1 They have to wait extra time and what they get is not what was requested. Instead they got a sack of greasy fries.
Level 2 They get a hamburger on time but its is mildly warm and is missing the cheese and relish they expected.
Level 3 They get a hot-off-the-grill hamburger that has everything they expected. They get what they asked for.
Level 4 Their hamburger is just how they wanted it and the waiter says, “Today I am also going to give you some fries and a shake for free.” Clearly more than what was expected.
pp. 83-84
Rewards…and discipline
• Realized there will be problems
• Empowered staff to use 7 habits to guide behavior
• Carried out their plans with fidelity
Most Importantly…
• “Just showing up to school each day can be a reward.” (p. 85)
