• Greed
– The drive to acquire or possess more and
more in one’s self interest.
• Speed
– The motivation to cut corners in response
to the “warp speed” of our daily lives.

resistance.
If you want to build understanding, support and
acceptance, your values and operating principals must
not only be believed, they must be behaved.
Communication is one of the most powerful tools
you have. Rather than think of it as an activity, think
of communication as an outcome. Stay focused on
the message. Eliminate the static. Work to build
understanding, support and acceptance. When you
do, you’ll be well on your way to ensuring the success
you desire for yourself, your students, parents and
administrators.
