One of the challenges of leading is making decisions. When leaders choose to stay out of the operations side of business, making decisions to tackle operational problems might be increasingly challenging. Why? We lose our sense of reality and know how it feels and what it's like for employees to face them.
The same goes for the classroom.
Imagining what students must be feeling when they listen to lectures that are too boring to pay attention to, too much to digest, or too fast to follow is an essential part of the teaching job.
Standing in students' shoes is a choice.
If we show up only to satisfy our needs for self-expression, who are we serving?
