Day 3 - February 6th - Simon Sinek: How great leaders inspire action
How this will change my year:
Thinking through the model - "Why, How, What" - inside out.... most people start with the 'What' of their organization and move to the 'Why' - but Simon would contend that those 'great' organizations start with the 'why' and then work out from there. This is a very large idea when you put it in the context of education - 'why' educate. People don't buy what you do - they buy why you do it.
The big question - why do we educate? The answer - to provide a safe and caring environment where kids can take chances in their learning. This certainly takes 'big picture' planning for a school to a new level.
There is also a great bit about early innovators & laws of diffusion of innovation - this is a perfect way to frame educational change and innovation - anybody who wants to change a system, for good, you have to consider this concept!
