Total Transparency From the Top-Down - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso Achievement First

I have worked for several years at another large charter network in New York, and find Achievement First to be much more transparent from the top-down than what I'm used to. I was recently in a large meeting with the co-founders, where they spent an hour reviewing the 2015-16 school year, and the areas for growth that the network needs to focus on. Doug and Dacia (the co-founders) were completely honest about the things they are working on as the network's leaders, and took total responsibility for mistakes they made the previous year. They then shared the areas of growth they are going to personally work on during the 2016-17 school year. I have never worked for an organization where the leaders dedicate a portion of their day to be honest with their employees about how they, as the head of the organization, can do better. I found this to be very honest and open, and I left the meeting with a level of trust that I never had at my previous, better known, charter network.
