Leadership Class #5

Well, this week we got to play the making change simulation game. Needless to say, the process was interesting. My group had a little difficulty at the beginning of the game, ok, the first two years, but one we started to see some movement across the board, we started to catch onto the whole process. One thing that I did realize about playing this game is that I can be critical at times about how change/decisions are made in the district, but I now have a different outlook. Now I know that I would not want to be the one to begin/implement change in the district. That does not mean that I am not going to be on board with change, however, it is not a very easy process for anyone involved. There are benefits and disadvantages for all. So, I think that I have gained a bit of respect for those in my district that have to begin the change process, but I still think how some approach change in the district is not a good model. My district is way too top down or let's just give it a try without really looking into it.
