Go Community!

[caption id="attachment_2270" align="alignnone" width="1024"] Better Leaders Better Schools[/caption] This community is one of my favorite one-stop-shop tools to engage with other amazing school leaders. I use this online resource to gain insight, gather resources, and develop my leadership capacity. The #1 Leadership Online community is generous and authentic, an antidote to the clutter and noise that other social media sites have become. What makes this community different is that it is:

• An investment, not free
• A private community with the same goal
• A conversation, not a variety of self-promoting presentations
• Evergreen, not ephemeral
• Focused on serving school leaders, not advertisers, companies, or investors

I highly recommend using Go! Community to enhance your leadership skills!
