Leadership is this simple and this hard! Great piece! https://t.co/1BBxEEwEWI

Love Joseph Boone's novel "Furnace Creek." If you enjoy coming-of-age stories, this one should rank high on your list. Boone's writing is so fluid, and the portrait of each character so vivid!

Superb analysis of school culture and how a leader can influence it. Heads need to pay more attention to this critical aspect of their schools. Well done, Greg Bamford and Carla Silver! https://t.co/kxv2Rmrt8h

5 Reasons Your Employees Don’t Understand Your Company’s Vision

Great piece- one that #indyschool leaders should pay attention to. Developing a vision and sustaining its viability is hard work. Heads need to know that a strategic plan is not a vision. https://t.co/4yIwMuEUtQ

The phrase “good man” is thrown around lightly, but it embodied @clay1943's generosity and spirit. It was my good fortune to be in a search that Clay was leading more than a decade ago. [1]

@TomOlverson Just finished listening. What a wonderful episode on leading authentic, mission-aligned change. Mary is a board member for a client I’m working with right now. She is spectacular (@TomOlverson, you are pretty great too)!

@AriBetof Thanks, Ari!

Enjoyed being a guest with Mary Carter, Head of Derryfield, on the EMA podcast focusing on change management in #indyschools. Check it out: https://t.co/TcLBQpLPLg

@gregbamford The platitudes in HOS position descriptions reflect 1) an unwillingness of boards to confront reality and 2) the absence of consultant expertise to truly understand or communicate the critical challenges the school is facing.

https://t.co/bvwWilFBfB. Where is your school in its evolution? Huge implications for hiring the right leader.

@janpz @Carcar3185 @chrislhayes Agree- the wall is stupid but putting more carbon in the air is much more stupid!

[olverson @TomOlverson]

@HondaLove5 @chrislhayes If Republicans vote against the funding of the wall, they will get killed in the primaries.

[olverson @TomOlverson]

@Carcar3185 @chrislhayes You make a deal with the Republicans. Infrastructure including big decrease in carbon emissions for building the stupid wall
