3 time to review this plan and be prepared to help ensure our current goals and priorities are relevant to the work we are doing now as a system and the work we feel will be important in the future. Leadership Va lues I strongly believe that anyone who has influence on others is a leader. Therefore, we all need to learn how best to lead and influence others to have the largest and most positive impact we can on our school system. While we all have strengths and different roles, we also all have the power to influence the success of our students. As the saying goes, many little drops make a mighty ocean. When all of us lead in some small way, it can make a major difference to our school system and our community. Because of this, I feel it is important to include my beliefs about leadership so that we all have an understanding of the leadership principles that will guide not only the work of this entry plan, but more importantly the work that I hope we each engage in as we begin the 2022-2023 school year.
