E31: Why It Takes Time to Develop Professional Relationships

Inspired by a comment on The Gratitude Attitude Podcast, I'm reflecting on why it takes time to develop professional relationships. 

I discuss how relationships, unlike gathering people for your network requires time and consistency to develop. Emotional safety, patience, and build trust through small, consistent actions. 

Practical strategies for leaders, such as active listening, acknowledging past experiences, and celebrating small wins, are shared to help school leaders create a supportive and productive environment.
