ABSTRACT
We’re all guilty of taking people for granted – not fully appreciating what they have to offer, perhaps even doing the opposite and homing in on their limitations. Just because somebody can’t get to meetings in the evening, or isn’t very keen on computers, doesn’t necessarily mean that they’re in the way of progress, does it? A talented and dedicated teacher is worth keeping, even if it means making some compromises. And in any case, loyalty works both ways – or should do.
