The MACRO Acronym
When you hear the word MACRO you might think of a number of things. Maybe you think of a zoomed in view, as with a macro camera lens, providing a detailed view of things. You may think of a computer script that makes repetitive processes easier to execute. Or, you might think that macro is just the opposite of micro, big rather than small.
In all three senses, you have the gist of the word as I use it in the MACRO Leadership book. MACRO Leadership is a model that lets you see your highest priority work more clearly. It is a simple set of instructions you can follow, AND it is the opposite of damaging micromanagement.
Discover how to prioritize your innovation work, Match the right people to the right projects, Assign projects effectively to your people, Coach them through the good and bad times, Reflect on performance and learning, and give Ovations for the work that your teams do.
Embracing MACRO Leadership principles can enhance your ability to drive innovation, better serve students, and develop your team effectively.
MACRO Leadership is a model that emphasizes accomplishing the big, important things in your institution.
