In this pilot episode of Teaching and Leading, Dr. Jack Farmer unpacks one of the most important skills for effective leadership—the ability to see beyond the express task and recognize the implied tasks hidden within it. Drawing from the Great Commission, we explore how Jesus gave a clear directive that carried countless implied actions necessary for success. This same principle applies to school leadership today. Whether creating a carline duty schedule or leading a campus initiative, great leaders anticipate the steps that aren’t written down but are essential for mission success.
