A Note From Nannette – February 2012 – We’re on “Top” Because of You!

For the second year in a row, Hardin County Schools has been named as one of the top places to work by the Courier Journal.  Over 1200 people in our district completed the survey which placed us as one of the top scoring organizations in the large group division.  This recognition was made possible because of you and the culture you have helped to build in our district.  You have not only helped make this district a place where our own employees want to work; you also have created an environment where those not employed with Hardin County Schools want to work here.  At the beginning of the year, our Back to School DVD focused on being a believer and working together to increase our momentum in order to achieve our goals.  Our progress throughout the district continues.  I want to thank all of the believers in our district who have demonstrated the positive behavior and attitude and kept the energy going, especially in the midst of challenge and change.  Our district is full of believers that see the vision, model for new staff (tweeners), encourage the survivors in our district and ignore the agenda of the few remaining fundamentalist (“those that challenge requests and practices that lead to progress”).

Remember, each one of us will influence approximately ten thousand people in our life (directly or indirectly).  Being a respected leader has little to do with position or title, but has everything to do with the power of positive influence.  What kind of influencer are you? 

Thanks for keeping the momentum going.  You are great people and do wonderful work.  I’m so glad to be part of Hardin County Schools.

Nannette
