Last week, I was reading Mr. Brown can Moo, Can You?: Dr. Seuss’s Book of Wonderful Noises to my son when I realized that I was holding the book at a level that was easy for me to read and not one that was great for him to see. I quickly changed the angle of the book to one that he could see.
I realized that there was a lesson here, not just for reading books to our son, but for leadership as well. You may have a way of interacting with others that works just fine for you, however if your interventions are not made in a way that they can be received by others they won’t do much good.
Are you leading at the right level?This is similar to our leadership interventions.

Spot on realization and application. Great learning through this simple story.
truthcandy – Thanks for the response. I am glad that you enjoyed it!
Excellent post. As a former middle school reading teacher, I am very aware of the importance of “reading at the right level”. There are some things that I even have difficulty reading (right now I am struggling to wade through some language of our Book of Discipline). Maybe I just need to tilt the page a bit.
Holly – I am glad that you liked it! Will you let me know if tilting the Book of Discipline makes it easier or harder to read?
