Listen "18: Securing a Facility: Building a Team 101"
Episode Synopsis
Paul Morrissey is a school leader who understands the woes and joys of securing a facility. With seven campuses, he can attest that no two facility projects are the same. Which is why his advice to any leader looking to secure a facility is: Build a mission aligned team, trust the team to do their work, and be a critical partner to that team along the way. A school is not your building. Find the right space for right now, when you're in an early stage school and be comfortable that that will open up the opportunities in the future. Do your homework. In order to do that successfully you have to be humble, you have to recognize and be able to come to grips with what you don't know, and you have to do the work to learn that as best you can. Tune in to hear Paul's journey to becoming the Founder & CEO of Compass Rose Public Schools. Glean some insights on what it takes to undergo a facility project with optimism and joy because at the end of the day it is what happens inside the walls of your building that matters most!
