For the past several years, Johnston County Schools administrators have participated in seminars devoted to understanding, implementing, and enhancing leadership. One of the books read and discussed is Good to Great by Jim Collins. In this book, Mr. Collins advocates for making sure you have the right people in the right seats in your organization. He asserts that people are not an organization’s most important asset. The right people are. The Employee of the Month program is a monthly program that the Human Resources Department uses to

recognize employees who demonstrate the qualities of a caring and dedicated individual.

This month, the award goes to Lisa Griffin, Office Support at West Johnston High School.

Her nomination form reads:

Ms. Griffin works tirelessly to manage phone calls, parent/student/teacher requests...you name it! She is the "glue" that keeps West Johnston together. Especially during the past several months, with all of the publicity surrounding our student deaths, Ms. Griffin has had to manage additional responsibilities with increased volume of calls, information pouring in to our main office, and directing students to resources for support. Ms. Griffin steps up and does whatever it takes to get the job done!



We are very proud of Lisa!
