Hi Kristine, Sometimes you need to gently nudge staff in the direction you want them to go. Talk to key people, expressing your ideas and goals to get feedback from them. Once you have planted the seed of your ideas, it will start them thinking about them and soon they will become their ideas! We were having difficulties in our school age program with the schedule that was established by the staff. It was not what I wanted, nor did I think it would work. So after several weeks of hearing staff complain, I again mentioned my idea. They found that their way was not working and changed to my way. Since it was their idea to change, they bought into it much quicker. Our afterschool program is doing quite well now. I hope this helps a little. It worked for us. Barbara Name: Email: Subject
