2. Close the discussion by stressing the idea that a
school head is a person in the organization who
deals with different kinds of people. The quotation
below may be used to emphasize that the 35 minutes
relationship of the school head matters.

“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said,

people will forget what you did, but people will never
forget how you made them feel.”
– Maya Angelou

Note: Maya Angelou is well known for her acclaimed

memoir I know Why the Caged Bird Sings, the
first nonfiction bestseller by an African-American
woman. She is also the first African-American
woman to have her screenplay produced, the
1972 film Georgia, Georgia.
