In today’s episode, Dr. Janet Pilcher implements her own advice to “face the brutal facts” in education. As educational leaders in both K12 and higher education face a changing landscape, Dr. Pilcher explains that it’s crucial for leaders to attend to the bottom line to provide what’s best for students. Listen as she encourages the practice of facing the brutal facts and responding in positive ways by
- using scorecards and short cycles of improvement;
- having open conversations with other leaders;
- helping people understand where they’ve been, where they are now, how they got to where they are now;
- tracking progress;
- engaging in problem-solving discussions; and
- making decisions even when they are difficult.
