The first one was the most prestigious, and it showed.
They were well prepared, all the information was readily available, and nothing was left to chance.
The second school we visited was utter chaos.
It wasnt just the chaos I liked, it was what was causing it.
I could see that her first priority was the students wellbeing.
Everything she did and said reflected that.
She didnt produce a perfect video or booklet, and her presentation wasnt even that well-rehearsed.
But it was clear she cared and she was ready to drop everything to help students.

The school also reflected our own household.
I remember stuffing leftover sushi in a bag because I had forgotten to buy fresh bread.
Its both an insult and a compliment, and the ambivalence of that makes it interesting.
When a lot is happening around me and structure seems to be missing, Im both inspired and energized.
I love finding patterns in things, and I somehow become relaxed when others are stressing out.
I also think a chaotic situation can be fertile ground for new ideas.
When you envision an inspiring environment, my guess is it will be a space with lots of stimulants.
Music, images, tools, colors, and all that jazz.
Not a clean sterile room with white walls and nothing to interact with.
But… thats me.
The goal is to not enforce the wrong structure on your team.
