As Robert Fulghum's best-selling book Everything I Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten reported, sometimes the best lessons come from young sources.

As principal of Raymond Central Schools in Raymond, Nebraska, Harriet Gould took a page from her elementary students' textbooks and listed the ABCs of leadership at the University of Nebraska's Women in Educational Leadership Conference in October.

Adventure. School has to be an adventure for students.

Be there. "I need to be there for my faculty and know what's going on in their lives."

Communicate. Effective communication is critical for success and applies to all stakeholders.

3-Ds: dump, delegate and do, a strategy to keep organized.

Excellence. "Excellence is a vicinity not a destination." There's always room for improvement.
