Episode 58: Your Leadership Kryptonite And How To Avoid It
I was never really a big fan of Superman. I was more of a Spiderman fan when I was a kid.
Of course, Spiderman was actually Peter Parker. A nerdy kid from Queens that was always studying for a test, was usually broke and had a girlfriend. He was relatable and flawed. I like my superheroes to have flaws.
On the other hand, Superman was an alien from another planet. He always did the right thing and was virtually indestructible. That’s why they called him the “Man of Steel”.
Indestructible, except for….. Kryptonite.
Superman's enemies discovered that kryptonite was the only thing that could be used to either hurt or kill him. Somehow, this green, glowing rock from his home planet was his only weakness.
In everyday contexts, the word 'kryptonite' is used to refer to someone's weakness or something that can be used to hurt someone who is strong. It has more or less the same meaning as 'Achilles heel'.
As a school leader, you do so many things well. You have so many strengths. You also have some things that you need to avoid or they can end your career.
On today’s episode of the Private School Leader Podcast, we are going to discuss Your Leadership Kryptonite And How To Avoid It
