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.
