July 18 was Leaders' roundtable day, where we spent time with Denver leaders from different backgrounds: government, academe, non-profit and businesses. I gathered interesting ideas and advice from them! I won't enumerate the thoughts/ interesting info one by one, nor enumerate the people who said them, here they are in a nutshell
- In Colorado, schools are financed by real estate/ property tax.
- Communities get involved in school management, especially the rich communities. There is a standard "schools package" and the state does not try to level the "poorer" ones to what the rich ones have.
- A leader should always lead by example and be a motivator. 
- If you are a true leader, you will always be a leader wherever you go. Whether you are holding a position or not.
- Your values play a big role on your leadership style
- It is helpful to have your own personal mission
- Being aware of your own strengths and weaknesses is helpful
- Become self aware and always look within you
- When frustrations come from what you are doing or from the people around you... look within yourself and find inspiration within you and your personal cause.
