A new assignment is already in the works after an initial meeting with five Heads of Education. These five Heads were selected based on questions and discussions about administration linked to digitization and efficiency. 

I am going to make a preliminary study to illustrate how the National Agency for Education (Skolverket) can support Heads of Eduction in reducing the administrative work for teachers and principals.

An important and challenging assignment - I think !!

Efficient or Effective?

Read an interesting article highlighting the importance of being a manager focusing on being efficient instead of just effective! That is to really examen how you as the executive manager is perceived by your employees and the effect this has on the business.

Simon Elvnäs KTH researched leadership based on what managers believe they do or  implement and what the employees perceive that they actually do or implement!
Interestingly - 40% of the managers themselves perceived that they spent much of their time giving feedback to the employees - while the research shows that in reality they were no more than 0-2% of the time spent on it.

Then I have spoken on this subject I have exclaimed: "It's not what you say but what you do that counts". Now I can add: "As a manager how do you take in count on how your employees perceive what you do?"'

Is it efficient or effective?

More Leadership - Less Management

Time sure flies, in a month I'm off to Bulgaria to lecture for about 300 headmasters from the eastern countries of Europe.

As soon as I have finished planning and picking the details of the areas I want to focus on I  find myself changing the content of my speech from day to day. :)
What feel quite central one day - feels less important and somewhat obvious the next.

For example, the importance of focusing on culture in the change process - what happens between people in the organization. Or daring to address conflicts and what is "under the surface" - are some of the details that are crucial to the outcome.

Are you starting to see a pattern here? :)
