The Flywheel Effect: How Momentum Builds in Transformative Schools
This episode dives into one of Jim Collins’ most powerful ideas: The Flywheel Effect. Stephen Carter explores why real, lasting school transformation doesn’t come from flashy launches or one-time events—but from consistent, mission-aligned actions that build momentum over time.
From student-run businesses to leadership programs, the episode unpacks how small, strategic steps—done repeatedly—can unlock exponential growth. Stephen also breaks down how to design your school’s unique flywheel using Collins’ framework and explains why this metaphor is essential for both educators and student entrepreneurs.
Whether you're launching a new initiative or helping students take their first steps as change makers, this episode will help you shift from short-term sprints to long-term momentum.
