Leaders like Dr. Morse have a great vision and use the resources at hand to solve problems. They take risks and make hard decisions, knowing they could sometimes be wrong. Those are the most important qualities of a real leader that work similarly in our professional and personal lives. Being a great leader requires constant personal and professional development, regular transparent feedback from the team, self-reflection and taking action on feedback received. Thank you Dr. Morse for all you do for the OUSD Staff and Students!]]> 2022-03-07 18:18:25 UTC https://padlet.com/OjaiUnified/InspiringWomen/wish/2082270278 Marisa Pierini https://padlet.com/OjaiUnified/InspiringWomen/wish/2082296573 Marisa is extremely resourceful and does a great job identifying solutions to problems on her own before addressing them with anyone else.
