Twenty some years ago I decided I would become a teacher, I believed I could make a difference. I have mostly been satisfied with my role as an educator. I was, however, dissatisfied with one area. That was the qualities of those that led the schools in which I taught. On several occasions actions taken or plans made were not handled very well. My fellow teachers and I were not sure how or why we were to complete an assigned task. It appeared as though we were asked to implement some change without adequate direction and no clear understanding of expected outcomes. This was a very dissatisfying experience. Early on I was sure that I could have done a better job of articulating the intent of action to those with whom I worked
