Advance the Ball

In a recent round of golf, I hit some bad shots.  However, I was reminded when hitting a bad shot it was important to advance the ball to ensure the next shot was closer to the bottom of the cup.  Much like golf, school leaders will make some great advances of the school and others not quite meeting the expectations of the leader.  However, it is important these decisions to advance the school are aligned with the goals and mission of the organization.  No matter the golfer's skill level, their decisions are to advance the ball to the green and eventually the cup.  The school leader must do the same and when faed with decisions ensuring the next "shot" doesn't take the school away from the mission.

School leaders are faced with many hazards throughout the school year.  There will be times he/she will find their location to be in a sand trap; it is bound to happen.  Just remember to stay calm, focus on the next decision, and advance the ball forward.
