AN INDIRECT LESSON FROM MY LEADER


In the last 3 months we realized the fish from the Preschool fish pond in my school kept vanishing and the teachers kept replacing them. One evening they decided to replace and watch over the pond from a distance. Just as suspected, a few pupils were the cause of the vanishing fish. These pupils were caught and warned.




Two weeks later this incident happened again. This time around, these students were brought to face the headmistress.  This is where the indirect lesson begun, instead of scolding the pupils or punishing them she explained the importance of the fish made them the protector of the fish pond. Guess what it worked! The boys were excited and made sure the pond was beautiful at all times.

That day I realized, leaders do not rectify problems, they transform them into opportunity. Thanks for the lesson.
