From the organization Partners in Leadership
Book: Change the Culture, Change the Game by Roger Connors and Tom Smith
When teams or organizations are underperforming leaders tend to make the mistake of working on the top half of the pyramid by focusing on “actions”
Leaders can accelerate change and results by working with the bottom half of the pyramid when they focus on “beliefs” and “experiences.”
As LEADers, I want you to think of yourselves as…
Step 1: What belief will support the desired action and therefore result?
Step 2: What experience will create the belief?
STARTHERE! Then…
Try to Avoid this!

Which belief(s) would best serve your school?
Leadership of Others
The leader is respected for her or his interpersonal skills and commitment to leading transformation among teams of teachers, administrators, and colleagues.
What “system of beliefs” will create leadership of others?
Identify at least 4 beliefs and write corresponding experiences and actions.
Leadership of Others Compare your result pyramids with
another group. What do you notice? Insights? Questions? Comments?
Go to the LEAD home page and download the example result pyramids. How are your pyramids similar or different?

Enrollment Conversations
In Summary
Consider that you are “Designers of Experience”
As Designers of Experience aligning experience, beliefs, and actions will accelerate achieving your desired result
Be strategic about who you enroll and why as you expand LEAD partners
