“Autonomy, mastery, and purpose are what your team is seeking. They want to have the autonomy to do what they’ve been called to do. They want to be really good at it, and that’s mastery. They want to know how their purpose fits into your vision.”

— Ryan Steuer, Founder of Magnify Learning, Host of The PBL Playbook

 

SHOW NOTES

We are in the middle of the Mission Drift Leadership Series. We will talk about how you know that you are achieving the vision you want. We will talk about tightening up your mission so it doesn’t get off course or fall victim to mission drift. This episode is all about teams and the focus of avoiding mission drift.

We also have a “need to know” about what types of books educators should be reading. It’s not about the specific books; it’s about the kinds of books which makes it an interesting question. Do educational leaders need to read about what they already know? It might be a good idea to brush up on the skills that make you a great leader and set that example for your staff.

Episode Highlights: 

[02:41] As a leader, you probably know the education side inside and out. Leaders need to know how to lead best. That means to open up the types of books that they are reading.

[03:14] Helpful books are leadership books, productivity books, books on how to stay motivated, and habit creation. Anything that will make you a better and more productive person and leader.

[04:38] I share my Mount Rushmore of books. Click on the Ask Ryan button on the What is PBL? Page listed below and let me know your Mount Rushmore.

[09:36] Are you going down the same vision path in three years or ten years? Do you know what mission and vision you are trying to defend?

[10:50] You want a clear vision. Look at the team aspect and the culture of your building. What will things look like in 3 years?

[11:53] What kind of teams do you want to have?

[14:42] Why do teachers want to come and work at your school?

[16:35] All of us want our small part to lead up to something bigger.

[19:45] Why do you want this? Your why makes your how and what more impactful.
