Lead with Appreciation Fostering a Culture of Gratitude A Lead Like a PIRATE Guide

Make Your Campus a Place Where People Want to Work

Positive recognition and appreciation can transform your school from a place where people have to work into one where they want to work and enjoy bringing their best every day. And that transformation starts with the leader!

Your staff pours time and energy into learners every single day. As a busy PIRATE leader, you know that even the best crews need the direction of a great captain. But what does that look like? And how can you provide meaningful recognition and encouragement when your schedule is full and your budget is limited?

In Lead with Appreciation, a Lead Like a PIRATE Guide, Amber Teamann and Melinda Miller offer practical and doable strategies to revolutionize your campus culture!
