not having enough time to complete a task or reach a goal?

finish projects before the deadline, get enough sleep every night and
spend enough time with loved ones… because you don’t have enough
time.

you feel like there are simply not enough minutes in the day!

working on the same context, the same body of skills and information and whose
suggestions on techniques and resources are essentially valuable
#29 Douglas Reeves:
"Educational leadership is more than being a spot on a hierarchical organization chart. The quality and practice of leadership at every level have a demonstrable impact on organizational health and on student achievement."
"Embracing teacher leadership does not diminish the role of the principal and other administrators. In fact, they have an enormously important additional role: that of talent scout, constantly on the prowl for effective practice." (pg. 71)
