Another great article and so true. It’s important to talk to others about your successes; as well as your fears and failures. Hearing someone else tell you that they have experienced the same or similar feelings and fears can be extremely enlightening. We are all in this together and there are many of us out there ready to help. Thanks Paul!

A great article Paul - thank you. This can be applied to so many positions and relationships above and beyond Superintendents. DDS

Great article as always but I would offer that lowering expectations is a slippery slope. Lower them today, and again next week, and again next month and next year and you'll likely find yourself in a dangerous situation. Share your expectations and reasoning. Offer encouragement and praise. Open up about struggles and frustrations. Allow others to take ownership. Bring others up to your level and maybe your expectations will not only be met, but exceeded. Chasing perfection may bring excellence. DDS
