By Myron Curry
It goes without saying that good leadership is crucial to any successful business. But, what makes a good leader and how
can someone develop himself or herself into a good leader if they are not one to begin with? The answer is that there
are many factors that contribute to good leadership. And, whether someone is naturally a good leader or not, anyone can
become a good leader.
1
Get To Talking
One of those factors of good leadership is communication. Communication is one of the most key elements of leadership.
Good communication skills need to be learned to effectively become a good leader or manager. When communication
occurs, as a leader, you will be able to accurately convey your ideas and thoughts to those that work for you. In fact, simply
being able to convey these things in the first place, much less accurately, puts you in the right direction for leadership. If
employees have no idea what is on your mind, your leadership is going to falter. Employees are not typically mind readers.
October- December
Leadership:
What Makes a Good Leader
If there is a problem a certain employee is experiencing, good communication can filter the problem out. You, as a leader,
can dissect the problem and offer solutions in various ways.
Get Something Moving
Motivation is another variable that plays into good leadership. Employees tend to stagnate when motivation decreases
and it will decrease, without proper motivation. Many leaders try to motivate the old-fashioned way through fear. (Do what
I say or something bad will happen) This is not advisable, since it tends to only deliver short-term results and cause even
less competent work in the long run, due to resentment resulting from the fear tactics.
Instead, try adding challenges for employees. A fresh challenge always adds excitement and spawns creativity. Challenge
your employees with tasks that may be slightly out of their range and let them at it! This increases motivation.

If they run into a snag, guide them towards a solution but don’t offer the actual solution outright. Coach them into discovering
the solution themselves. Once they have, their self-esteem will rise, thereby raising their motivation level.
Two Heads Are Better Than One
Teamwork is always something to consider when striving to become a good leader. This means not only teaching your
employees to work together but to become part of the team yourself.
Use others potential. Many times, employees potential is wasted. A good leader recognizes that his or her employees
are more than just employees, they are people too. These people have lives outside of work where they have to make
decisions on a daily basis, from how to deal with house payments, to car bills, to raising children, to uncountable tasks in
everyday lives. Yet, at work, their decision making skills are not trusted enough to choose what type of toner needs to be
ordered for a set of printers.
The point here is that employees need to be trusted to do more. A good leader doesn’t manage every single detail. Use
others potential to your benefit. You will find that you have become a better leader for it.
Back to School
As always, increasing your education and knowledge
is definitely a good thing when trying to improve your
leadership skills, but the school that really needs to be
brought to attention here is the kind of school that you don’t
get a degree from.
Take the time to learn as much about your position of
being a leader as possible. Take advantage of leadership
training material to help develop your professional skills. Do
some reading at the nearest bookstore. Attend seminars,
workshops, webinars and other professional development
events. Watch online videos by top leadership experts on
YouTube and other sites. Talk to other leaders and see how
they do things; exchange ideas.

The more you continually evaluate yourself and your
practices and search for as much information on leadership
as possible, the more you will be able to keep up with
changing times and the better leader you will be for it.

Ideas that are given to employees work both ways, as well. Employees can give helpful feedback and generate new ideas

211 Resource Information for Parents
211info Family: Providing the support every parent
deserves.
What more can I do to help my child develop? Where can I
find parenting resources? What kind of parenting strategies
can I use to help my child behave better?
Every week, hundreds of parents and caregivers ask the
compassionate call-takers at 211info Family these types of
questions. Sometimes a parent or caregiver just needs a
quick referral to resources. Other times they may need onthe-spot parenting advice. Either way, 211info Family can
help – for free.
Whether they need to discuss child development, family
stress, parent support groups or just basic resources,
parents and caregivers can contact 211info Family,
Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm by dialing 2-1-1, ext.5, or texting
the word “children” to 898211 or emailing children@211info.
org. 211info Family is open to those with children birth-to-8
years old.
211info Family is a special program of the statewide
nonprofit 211info (www.211info.org), which provides free
guidance and information about thousands of health
and social services, including food and utility assistance,
housing and shelter resources, maternal and child health
programs, and much more.
Please note, 211info Family is a grant-funded program
and only available in Lane, Multnomah, Clackamas,

Spotlight
Thoughts on QRIS
from Parkside Community
Preschool
Michelle Lang - Preschool Director
Why participate in the QRIS? Is this going to
be worth my time? We’re already doing great,
what more can we do? These are the kinds of
questions that may go through your mind as you
contemplate the job of applying to the QRIS! I
can tell you that “Yes!” it is definitely worth your
effort! We did it and we couldn’t be happier with
the result! Here’s why:
It helped us to identify areas that needed
strengthening within our program. It caused us
to use a sharper eye to look at the classrooms
individually as opposed to declaring that the
whole school is perfect in every area! (To quote
Mary Poppins, we like to think we’re “practically
perfect in every way”… but no program is
perfect!) There are always places to improve. In
the end, we want to do what we can to continually
be improving and to be the best we can be for
the children and families that we serve!
Another wonderful result of the QRIS process
was being able to recognize the areas where
we are doing a great job – and there were
many! Additionally, the QRIS funds helped us
purchase classroom materials to make those
improvements (including the purchase of The
Creative Curriculum for example) which further
support our staff and program. The support of
Lane Family Connections and Cheryle Myers,
was immense and the resources from the QRIS
web page continue to be useful on our neverending journey to being “practically perfect in
every way!”

Programa Inclusivo de Cuidado de Niños Sin importar sus capacidades o necesidades,
todos los niños son niños primero.
Objetivos del Programa Inclusivo de Cuidado de Niños:
1) Apoyar a las familias para que tengan acceso a cuidado apropiado para niños con discapacidades,
desórdenes emocionales o de conducta, o necesidades especiales de cuidado de la salud; y,
2) Ayudar a que todos los niños estén con sus parecen ambientes de cuidado de niños inclusivos.
El Programa Inclusivo de Cuidado de Niños sirve a niños, familias, proveedores de cuidado
de niños y comunidades a través de:
•Subsidios para cuidado de niños.
El programa coordina subsidios que pueden ayudar a cubrir los costos de las adaptaciones o apoyos que
ciertos niños necesitan para recibir un cuidado seguro y saludable.
Las familias pueden ser elegibles si los padres trabajan, estudian o reciben ayuda para cuidado de niños
del Departamento de Servicios Humanos de Oregón. Los ingresos familiares deben ser menores a $5,107
por mes para una familia de 4. Los niños y jóvenes son elegibles desde que nacen hasta los 17 años de
edad y deben necesitar un nivel más alto de cuidado y supervisión.
•Planificación individualizada para apoyar ubicaciones estables en cuidado de niños.
•Capacitación y consultoría para apoyar a los proveedores de cuidado de niños en sus esfuerzos para
incluir a niños con diversas capacidades y necesidades.
•Información sobre recursos nacionales, estatales y de la comunidad que apoyan el cuidado de niños
inclusivo.
El “cuidado de niños inclusivo”, ¿es diferente?
No, no lo es. El Cuidado de Niños Inclusivo sólo significa que niños y jóvenes con o sin discapacidades,
desórdenes emocionales o de conducta, o necesidades especiales de cuidado de la salud, están todos
juntos en programas de cuidado de niños o en programas de fuera del horario escolar. También significa
que todos los niños y jóvenes participan en todas las rutinas y actividades diarias del lugar donde reciben
cuidados.
Todos los programas de cuidado de niños y los programas de fuera del horario escolar pueden llegar a ser
completamente inclusivos. Para más información llame a: Portland: 971-673-2977 o Sin cargo: 1-866837-0250.
