Firing Mike Brown was one of the many terrible decisions the Sacramento Kings owner has made over the past several years as we local basketball fans suffer the consequences.
Today’s NY Times article, Mike Brown and the Knicks found redemption together on magical NBA Finals run, gives you a good sense of why he’s such a great coach.
And it also gives clues, perhaps, to practices superintendents, principals, and teachers might want to consider implementing in their professional lives.
One of them is highlighted in the text box at the top of this post. I never had the luck to work under a particularly competent superintendent, but one who consults with their principals and teachers, along with their parents and students, I bet would have a better-than-average chance of success.
Fortunately, I always worked under principals who did just that.
And I often had leadership teams of students in my classes who I regularly consulted.
The Times article also highlights Brown’s other qualities, including his willingness to risk and fail, and his willingness to support others to do the same.
I can think of role models who would be far worse.
I’m adding this info to A BEGINNING LIST OF THE BEST RESOURCES ON LEARNING ABOUT LEADERSHIP – SHARE YOUR OWN.
