You Were Not Made for Comfort | WT #152
Comfort doesn’t announce itself as the enemy — it shows up as a well-earned reward. This week’s truth asks a harder question: when did rest become the destination?
Read MoreEditor’s Note: This week we are excited to add a new sub-category to our Weekly TRUTH Series: “HTA for Mission” too add variety and value for our subscribers. We hope you find it it useful!
As the Authentic Leadership Team shows educators how to implement customized student and faculty Path to Greatness (PTG) programs for principled decision-making, we often share daily challenges, solutions, obstacles, and the impact that we observe. Central to the faculty PTG program is the Hiring, Training & Accountability (HTA) for Mission process. We show them how to use mission-based interview questions, training to meet expectations and performance review questions, for mission accountability, to execute the school’s mission better and achieve greatness.
Our is to support educators’ knowledge, experience, and activities to improve their school’s mission execution and hopefully make you comfortable sharing your experience with others here. You can also follow the implementation of the student PTG program on the Authentic Leadership Linked-In page.
A challenge with starting an Authentic Leadership PTG high school program is adopting an attitude of “we don’t need perfection, just success.” The solution is picking the very next opportunity to start, whether it’s an educator training, retreat or injecting an element of the program into the student curriculum and executing. An obstacle is waiting for the right time (which will NEVER arrive!).
The impact is the educator freeing up time to lead an integrated life & make a collective impact and knowing they are doing everything they had ever wished they could do for their faculty and students.

This reflection invites leaders to examine the often-unspoken beliefs embedded in their choices—and to discover why awareness is the beginning of wiser, more integrated leadership.
