One of the most important pieces of advice we give to school leaders is to create clarity around their organization’s strategy and direction.

We encourage them to use that clarity to keep them focused and to avoid distraction, and the best school leaders do this well.

In the midst of this current crisis, we want to send a loud and clear message to leaders: know and communicate your priorities!

We know you are short on time so Katy and I recorded a discussion we had around priorities in hopes it helps you move forward!

We also packaged a FREE GIFT for you and your team to align and accelerate your execution.
