Leveraging relationships from different roles as a teacher, principal or superintendent. Tips on making a decision about who's not in the room and what this looks like 3 years from now. Embrace systems and the habits thinking to develop your systems level thinking. Caterpillars and butterflies will shape your leadership.  Human-centered model for school transformation with a framework with 3 domains is how you lead. Be a “lead learner” and An Imperfect Leader. “Every decision has consequences and many of them are unintended. So be a Ruckus Maker, disrupt the status quo. And while you're doing that, be prepared for the system to work aggressively, to return to stasis. Plan for those unintended consequences and try to bring together as many Ruckus Makers in your community as possible, some of whom have been like 13 year cicadas or like the agave Americana, a cactus that only blooms one in a hundred years, because they have been lying dormant, waiting for you to wake them up.” -Peter Stiepleman   Get the episode transcript here!!
