SUMMARY:The Leadership Challenge
DESCRIPTION:Head Start and Early Head Start staff are challenged with juggling the needs of children\, parents\, and co-workers as well as the myriad of tasks necessary to meet performance standards and organizational goals. Our work is both urgent and fast passed as well as very emotional.  Because of passion and determination\, Head Start achieves great outcomes.  Organizations that are high functioning believe strongly in the power of leadership is everyone’s business.  From the director to the new assistant teacher\, from accounting to family services\, well-lead teams do extraordinary services for their constituents.  The Head Start WEST (HSW) believes strongly in the notion that we must build strong agencies that sustain both clients and staff.  Since 2016\, we have set out to strengthen the leadership skills of staff.  We regularly bring forward The Leadership Challenge Workshop\, coaching utilizing the Leadership Practice Inventory\, and ongoing networking of our leadership community. \n
