Are you focused on control, conformity, or alignment? Your answer will likely determine whether you have a toxic culture, a good enough culture, or a 100% culture. Tune in today to discover why trying to stay in control of your school will lead to burn out, toxicity, and failure, why conformity is a trap that keeps your school locked in “good enough,” and how to build true alignment that not only unleashes creativity and innovation, fosters true accountability, and frees you and your team to be your best selves #LikeABuilder.

The difference between a toxic, good enough, and 100% culture can usually be boiled down to how each culture pursues its work. Toxic cultures are reactionary and pursue their work from a sense of panic. Good Enough cultures pursue their work to alleviate the tension between where they are and where they need to be, often settling for whatever will relieve the tension regardless of whether it is right for students. But Builders know that in order to sustain true urgency around the work, they need to keep a laser focused on the most important work. On today’s episode, discover how you can foster a true sense of urgency in your school  #LikeABuilder.

One of the biggest traps leaders face is that they have been trained to focus on making their staff comfortable instead of safe.

On today’s episode, discover the steps you need to take to transition your school culture from a culture of comfort to a culture of safety so that your teachers feel empowered to take risks, pursue bigger goals, and ultimately achieve your vision for 100% of your students  #LikeABuilder.
