"Pull the Weeds Before You Plant the Flowers"

comments on the this article by Douglas Reeves in the September 2006 issue of Educational Leadership from the DISC perspective:

Ds--> "Forget the weeds. We don't have time to pull them. Plant the flowers NOW!"
Is--> "But what about the weeds? Yes, we need to plant the flowers, but what can we learn from the weeds first? Weeds have feelings too, you know."
Ss--> "What is the best process for pulling the weeds and planting the flowers? Let's be consistent in our treatment of both, ok? Slow and steady."
Cs--> "We will only plant the flowers when we fully understand why we have weeds!"
