How we lead Every Little Land leader is held to our ten Leadership Principles. As a lead, you will be expected to:

• Extend the line. Your authority comes from your role; build rapport with the team while keeping the objectivity to coach fairly.
• Develop your people. Coach the COTAs and therapists you support.
• Resolve conflict directly. Address friction at its source instead of letting it spread.
• Receive feedback without defensiveness. Hear feedback about yourself, not just give it.
