What is your intolerance for compromise? Said another way, when you’ve seemingly done your best, are you satisfied, even if your “best” didn’t get the job done to expectations?  It’s good to know your tolerance for compromise and your tolerance for failure. Where the rubber meets the road, we can’t just talk about getting it done.  We’ve got to back it up!  When we set the bar for excellence high, we discover who we really are.  We show our true selves to others, as well.  

In this episode of the Educators Among Us podcast, host Scott Barron, Chief Reinvention Officer with School Growth, motivates educators and leaders to set the bar high and to strive to reach that level of success every day.  

Drawing parallels from a personal experience at a tire store where the expectation was excellence at all costs to illustrate the significance of a commitment to high standards and a discontent with failure. The conversation encourages educators to reflect on their practices and strive for continuous improvement in their roles, every day, no matter what it takes.  

Finding your “Critical Failure Line” is the call to action, inspiring you to be a delight to those around you by setting and keeping high standards.
