55. 2 Mindset Shifts to Increase Retention

What does it mean to have a team that is accountable, hardworking, and responsible?   Employees no longer feel compelled to serve companies that do not serve them. This makes understanding employee retention key to attracting and retaining those top performers. It’s time for school leaders to start to create an environment that fosters and builds a team of excellence.   Today's podcast episode is a very unique conversation. I talk about the two mindset shifts to help you increase retention in your center, starting with understanding the problem that you're trying to solve. Because when we understand what is the problem that we're trying to solve, it is a lot easier for us to be able to find the right solution.    In a nutshell, I speak about:   The global evolution of hiring in the early childhood education space. The core skills leaders need to create sustainability, profit and legacy. The two strategies to start understanding how to flip the narrative around the hiring crisis.   I hope that the content, strategy and perspective shared in the episode will be very valuable to you in your continued pursuit of excellence for your center.   Resources and links mentioned in this episode:   Access the Reflective Questions Resource: https://discovered.thrivecart.com/reflective-questions-for-teachers/   Access the Teacher Training Vault: https://schoolsofexcellence.com/early-childhood-teacher-trainings/   Access the Confidence and Resiliency Training: https://discovered.thrivecart.com/confidence-resiliency-training/   Sign up for the Director’s Inner Circle & Owner's HQ: http://Chanie.me/jointhedic   More about the show:   If you are an Early Childhood director or owner, prepare to transform your school and life with the Schools of Excellence podcast.
