What were the speaker’s main messages?
- The world has changed. Our style of leadership may still operate from an Industrial Age of leadership and a Command and Control style of leadership. For instance, “I say this and you do that.” Five emerging forces have caused a change in leadership: nature of the world, nature of the work, nature of the workplace, nature of the workforce, and nature of choice.
- What is the alternative? Trust and inspire, which means managing things and leading people, transformational, belonging and inclusion, organic, growth mindset, and inspiration.
- Three stewardships: Model (who you are), trust (how you lead), and inspire (connect to why).
What was the speaker’s best quote?
- “My passion is your potential.”
- “Produce leaders who are best for the world.”
What are resources you will check out?
I can’t wait to tell my teachers about this idea:
- A picture book to read: Mrs. Spritzer’s Garden. Every child needs different conditions to be successful
- Morning meetings are a great time to celebrate authenticity and vulnerability
