Team member in need

The agents of the NCIS team wake up every day to go to work. A task that hundreds, thousands, millions do each day. While the nature of their job places them at risk, how many employees would sacrifice their life for a team member? For us it’s only a question of student coverage; a far stretch from a life threatening circumstance. In this year’s season premier of NCIS we saw something different.

Each week we get a glimpse on how Special Agent Gibbs develops his team, some weeks are better than others. When Ziva’s behaviors did not match up, Tony pushed for assistance. The catalyst for her support did not come from the top, it came from a co-worker. This makes me wonder if this was the barometer that Special Agent Gibbs was looking for. What exactly do school leaders look for with their team when a teacher is in need? Who is there to assist? Who will step out of the comfort zone? Gibbs creates a culture of trust and dependence. If you don’t know where to begin that’s a start.
