Show Highlights

• Pulling weeds versus watering plants leadership strategy.

• The recipe we've been given to be a transformational school leader is fundamentally unhealthy.

• Maintaining your well being need not be as rare as a copy machine that never breaks down.

• The biggest bang for your school improvement buck comes from walking out of the emergency room.

"My body woke me up to what my head and heart wouldn't let me see. And that's particularly how I really resonate with Ruckus Makers. People who are trying to make tomorrow's school a reality today. People who are really challenging that status quo. I was that. So how do ruckus makers respond to adversity? We work harder. We love more, we give more than we give. And so I was really blinded to the low point I was getting to and my body woke me up.

"I was flourishing at work, I was floundering where it mattered most, at home and with my family and friends. And that's what I hope my book and my work now can help Ruckus Makers do, is to avoid the place where I got so they can continue to thrive in their work and have the impact that they're having."
