I suggest two ways to
handle the
distracting information. The first way
is to ignore whatever
information is
gathered, disseminated
or divulged.
This could work, but
remember, “ cancer
spreads if not nipped
in the bud!”
The second way is to
go get yourself
a cup of coffee, even
if your not a coffee
drinker. This totally disrupts the flow
of nonsense spread at
the stirring pot.
You won’t have to get
coffee everyday,
but the fact that you
will enter this
sacred space will
prompt the frequenters
to quickly get their
serving and then
get on to “on task”
agendas.
One thing you will
learn quickly,
your presence at
certain “hot spots” in
your building will
either be welcomed or
unwanted. This simple
building routine
will encourage your
staff to stay on
task. Additionally,
you want to create
a culture of focusing
on agenda items
within your schools
control. Situations
that arise outside of
your building and
above your pay grade
are not focal points
of your or your
schools agenda. Either
way, its in your favor
to always be
unpredictable. Cream
or Sugar anyone?
