  10. Differences in Admin Leadership Change (from Pete's perspective) • Previous school's (JEB STUART) Administrator • TJHSST, Geoff (somewhat technical), then Elizabeth (different, but complimentary, "give me a heads up, "explain what this meeting is about, what should I be looking for..“) • Professional freedom and trust, leg-room • Gratitude, compliments, "thank you's"
