Common Focus Matters

Some disdain efforts to work towards common goals and focus--they think the work is meaningless and unnecessary, yet when we truly make time to think about what we do and why we do it together we build our collective capacity to do good work. Giving goal setting processes little or no attention does nothing to strengthen an organization, yet when we do give goal setting the attention deserved we create a path to betterment that makes a difference for the children we teach and colleagues and families we partner with.
