#TECHtalkGA Q2: Share a time you experienced a leadership failure and what you learned from it?

iamryanwhite Oct 30 @ 9:07 PM EDT

A2 leadership fail : not going slow. There’s a reason we now say “if you think you’re going slow, slow down more” . #techtalkga

SFMSKeith Oct 30 @ 9:08 PM EDT

A2. At times, I struggle with strong listening skills- this can lead to misconceptions of what my colleagues truly need #techtalkga

I feel you, @ClintWinter. One of the hardest chasms to jump when you 1st venture into any kind of leadership is speaking up! #TECHTalkGA

ClintWinter Oct 30 @ 9:08 PM EDT

A2: the time I didn’t speak up when technology could have enhanced the lesson being discussed #TECHtalkGA

#TECHtalkGA Q3: How can we make sure our leadership decisions are aligned to the vision of the district and leadership goals?

DC_STEMtastic Oct 30 @ 9:15 PM EDT

Failure: I let my passion for tech overwhelm others. I learned to take a step back and meet people where They are. Take it slow and recognize everyone hasn’t bought in yet and I shouldn’t force it.#TechtalkGA

ClintWinter Oct 30 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A4: #TECHtalkGA peeps of course!

CatFlippen Oct 30 @ 9:17 PM EDT

This was almost exactly what happened to me! I was going through the Chrome browser and webstore, and they were so lost! #TECHTalkGA

In reply to @mycalfdoll

DC_STEMtastic Oct 30 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A3: make sure we are in constant reflection of our decisions. Check to see if we are forcing decisions to fit district goals. If they are being forced we need to take a step back #TECHtalkGA
