As an educational leader, you must act. And, when you act, there are times when you are going to fail. If you're afraid of failing, you won't get very far, nothing changes, and children suffer. Fear tomorrow if you don’t act today. Children have one time in school. Be the light.

Simple, but profound lesson for young superintendents—If you want happy parents, you need happy employees. Treat everyone with dignity and respect; even when you must exit someone from the organization.

The most powerful statement you can make as a leader is humbly doing the "lowest" possible tasks with a glad heart.
When your D-I recruit is the one putting the blocks away instead of a lowly freshman it does magic things. @21Jefferywells taking us all to school. @CoachKurtHines
