12 Empowering Children’s Books To Add To Little Girls’ Bookshelves

• *Be patient.  Sometimes the best course of action is to do nothing but watch and wait.

*Give your staff plenty of time to get used to the idea of an unpopular decision.

*Take the time to observe before acting, especially if you are new to the scene. All changes should be aimed at improvements. Don’t make changes just for the sake of leaving your mark.

(from Shackleton’s Way)

One of my favorite leadership books is Shackleton’s Way by Margot Morrell and Stephanie Capparell.  Over the next few months, I will share some of the traits that made Shackleton such a great leader despite the overwhelming situation in which he and him men found themselves.

*When crisis strikes, immediately address your staff. Take charge of the situation, offer a plan of action, ask for support, and show absolute confidence in a positive outcome.

*Defuse tension. In high stress situations use humor to put people at ease and keep your staff busy.

*Let go of the past. Don’t waste time or energy regretting past mistakes or fretting over what you can’t change.

It’s always a good idea to know what books are about to hit the screen as a movie so you can be sure to have the books available.  You can find a list of books to movies here:

A library is a good place to go when you feel unhappy, for there, in a book, you may find encouragement and comfort. A library is a good place to go when you feel bewildered or undecided, for there, in a book, you may have your question answered. Books are good company, in sad times and happy times, for books are people – people who have managed to stay alive by hiding between the covers of a book.
