Leadership Under Fire
This talk confronts the pressures to concede with the detractions of both real existential and assumed internal threats. The tactics used by media and persons with an agenda to keep status quos on par with mediocracy are outlined and combated in this candid discussion. When change for the better is on the horizon, we as leaders must anticipate and make provision to secure ourselves and our organizations from the onslaught of personal and professional attacks. This is the boiling point, and ultimately it is not meant to wither us but to fortify our practice and elevate our effectiveness.
Educational leaders on all levels will:
- Relive the moments they felt the least effective
- Challenge themselves to identify each trojan horse intended to impede and undermine their progress and
- Through the lens of revered educational giants, rescript their plan of engagement.
