LEADERSHIP EFFECTIVENESS
Why are you advancing improvement in education?
The two most important structures that make our nation strong and
sustainable are healthcare and education. Without well-educated
people we cannot and will not move ahead and succeed, as people and
as a country. Education is the very backbone of everything we dream of
and hope for.
I began my professional career in education. I saw firsthand the power
of passionate, committed, competent leaders. This is not a top-down
issue; it is broad, wide, and deep within every successful education
system. It is incredibly exciting to see people at every level of education
pick up the challenge to build strong teams with shared values and then
take them out to every school and community and, eventually, to each
child and family. It is thrilling to be able to help in any way that I possibly
can. It is personally rewarding and motivates me to continue my work.
