Want Students to See Their Own Greatness? Empower Them...
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this short, Muriel Summers and I explore the concept of empowerment, drawing insights from Stephen Covey's 7 Habits and the Leader in Me framework. We discuss how true leadership involves recognizing and unleashing the inherent greatness within individuals, fostering significant personal growth. This perspective highlights the importance of cultivating success habits and continuous self-improvement for effective leadership development.
Drawing from the collaborative work of Dr. Hatch, we revisit one of the most profound definitions of leadership: "Communicating someone's worth and potential so clearly that they are inspired to see it in themselves."
This isn't just a quote, it's a philosophy for empowered educators, instructional leaders, and anyone who believes in the whole child.
Watch, reflect, and share Part 1 & Part 2 of our @schoolutionspodcast S5E34 interview.
