McKinney, Texas — McKinney ISD has announced the certification of district and campus leaders in Jon Gordon’s Power of Positive Leadership program. This initiative aligns with Superintendent Pratt’s commitment to fostering a culture of positivity, resilience, and success within the organization.
The Power of Positive Leadership program, developed by best-selling author and motivational speaker Jon Gordon, equips leaders with tools and strategies to inspire and empower their teams. The program emphasizes positive leadership's role in driving performance, enhancing employee engagement, and achieving organizational goals.
“Our leaders are instrumental in our district’s success; they are working with our students, staff, and community each day,” said Pratt. “By investing in their development, we are reinforcing our dedication to cultivating a supportive and thriving work environment. Positive leadership is not just a philosophy for us; it’s a strategic advantage.”
The certification program included comprehensive training sessions focused on core principles such as building trust, fostering positive relationships, and creating a vision that motivates teams. Participants engaged in interactive workshops designed to translate these principles into actionable strategies.
Leaders who completed the certification reported significant improvements in their leadership approach, school culture, and team dynamics. District and campus leaders are continuing to implement this work within the teams they serve.
McKinney ISD remains committed to continuous growth and improvement and recognizes the pivotal role of leadership in achieving these objectives. This certification marks a significant milestone in empowering leaders with skills necessary to drive positive change.
