Black History Month 2021

Resources & Tools

In this edition of Leaders in Education, we will focus on the latest tools, resources, and guidance for leaders, with a focus on project planning and organization tools.

Using Time Effectively, Not Just Efficiently

Work can be really overwhelming when every task feels like a priority. You’re being pulled in a lot of different directions and aren’t sure what to spend your time on first. This principle of categorizing things as “urgent” vs. “important” helps us think about the tasks in terms of our goals and priorities.

Should Your Meeting be an Email Instead?

Many companies are offering more flexible hours to accommodate employee needs during that time. This can mean scheduling a meeting when everyone is available is even more challenging. However, at the same time, leaders are making efforts to stay connected with their teams. This article helps think through what warrants a meeting and what can just be an email.

The right program can make all the difference in helping your team stay on top of projects. From assigning tasks and organizing deadlines to planning meetings, here are some of the highest-rated project management software. Whether your team prioritizes cost, usability, or reporting, there’s an option for everyone.

How to Make Your Staff Meetings Worth The Time

Staff meetings are not very popular. They are often unwelcomed by employees, especially after working long days. However, the importance of regular staff meetings is undebatable. That being said, you can make your staff meetings more engaging and productive with the right tools and mindset.

5 Steps for Running an Effective Daily Stand Up Meeting

Whether you call it a scrum, a huddle, a morning roll call, or anything else, daily stand up meetings have become an essential tool in empowering teams to unite and prioritize work goals. To ensure your stand up meetings don’t become an exercise in futility, these are five steps you can take now to run more meaningful meetings.

Why Should You Conduct Project Status Meetings with Your Team?

Project status meetings are powerful tools that could help you in managing your projects successfully. However, as active project managers, you should use these status meetings to go beyond merely collecting and reviewing status updates from team members.

 
Career Corner: Ask a Recruiter

This month, I’m focusing on small steps you can take to position yourself as a strong JobSeeker in 2021. Today, I charge you with ensuring your resume is filled with action verbs!

A strong resume should read like your marketing document, filled with outcomes. Unfortunately, the majority of resumes I read as a recruiter and coach look like a job description filled with job responsibilities.

Your task:

• Review your resume: does it clearly tell the reader what you accomplished (goals achieved and value-added), with plenty of numbers, or does it list your job functions?
   
• Replace phrases like “responsible for” or “tasked with” with action verbs, such as: led, initiated, enhanced, optimized, supervised, coached, developed, designed, oversaw, improved, strategized.
   
• Ask someone you trust in your network to review and ensure you’ve clearly expressed the unique value you’ve added, goals you’ve achieved, and the scope of your work.
