Description

In this episode I interview Dan White.  Dan has been a school counselor, a high school principal, and a school district superintendent.  He is currently the superintendent of a large educational service agency.  We talk mainly about decision making, specifically how not to let another person’s crisis become your crisis, using the time you have to make decisions, not hitting flies with sledgehammers, making thoughtful course corrections, and much more.  This is likely the first of several episodes with Dan related to the nuts and bolts of leadership in general and school leadership specifically.  The book Dan mentions towards the end of the episode is Time Present, Time Past by Bill Bradley.  Enjoy this interview with Dan White.
