What You’ll Learn in This Episode

The Real Foundation of Leadership

Why leadership isn't about title or authority, but about intentionally listening, aligning with your team's goals, and creating a shared vision of success.

The Time Crisis in Leadership

How most leaders fail, not because of incompetence, but because they don’t know how to manage timing, stakeholder involvement, and the pressure to perform quickly.

Why Most Leadership Training Falls Short

Jackie breaks down how traditional training programs fail to prepare principals for the realities of school leadership, and what must be embedded in future training models.

The Power of “Outside the Boss” Collaboration

Why real solutions happen when school leaders collaborate without the pressure of district directives, and how Jackie is building a national community to make this happen.

The DREAM Model Explained

Jackie’s step-by-step recursive model that helps leaders define, refine, activate, and evaluate progress in a way that fosters sustained transformation across entire school communities.

How Jackie Took Her School to #1

How to Build a Legacy of Leadership

Memorable Quotes

Josh Cary sits down with Will Fagg, the owner (or, as he puts it, the "shepherd") of Tiny Brick Oven Pizza in Baltimore.

"Our motto has always been: Love all, serve all. Maybe my purpose wasn't to build a huge business, but to bring hope and connection to my community." – Will Fagg
