Often, we hear about "gamification in the classroom" and how it can inspire learning. The same can be said of motivating employees, in any field, to complete tasks. Making "it" a competition is an age-old strategy. When my district moved forward with self-paced professional development (PD) they settled on the gamification model (#SVForTheWin on Alludo Learning). Beyond the actual PD, there are three "lessons", or observations, to be gleaned regarding the effectiveness of "on your own" learning.

PUSHBACK is to be expected when you try something new and ask others to adjust. The No Grades policy is a success... with room for improvement. Admin used to come from the ranks of teachers. Usually male, with a background in the armed services and/or a coach (because they know all about teams and controlling the "troops")....
Certain "types" are drawn to leadership/administration. Each "type" has their pros and cons and teachers just need to know how to work with them.
