One of the articles I discovered last week really got me thinking..."Ultimately, teachers’ personal pedagogical beliefs play a key role in their pedagogical decisions regarding whether and how to integrate technology within their classroom practices" (p. 556). The article was a little complex for me and I didn't include it in my paper last week, but this quote really stood out to me as I reflected on the importance of having a shared vision, purpose, mission...
It's not just important to have a vision - it's way more important to get others to believe what you believe. Only then, can you effectively bring about real, positive change. I'm reminded of organizational cultures like the ones described by those who visit Google's headquarters, or visionary leaders like the original founders of Patagonia and Clif Bars. If you're interested in inspiring employees to give more, take a page from their books, Let my people go surfing by Yvon Chouinard and Raising the bar: Integrity and passion in life and business by Gary Erickson. Both excellent reads.
