Power Surge⚡The Power of a New Perspective Seeing the Whole Picture #196

Episode 196

In this Power Surge, Dr. Mel unpacks what happens when things look “fine” on the surface but really aren’t. Drawing inspiration from the Thatcher Effect illusion, she challenges leaders to flip their perspective and see what’s truly happening in their schools, teams, and systems. Because sometimes what looks normal is actually upside down — and leadership clarity starts with the courage to look again.

Key Points:

What looks “fine” from one angle might be distorted from another.
Leaders can get used to dysfunction when they only view things through their usual lens.
True clarity requires flipping your perspective — asking different questions, listening to new voices, and looking at data, people, and culture from multiple angles.
“Fine” can become a mask for fatigue, fear, or frustration — both for you and your team.
Healthy leadership means re-examining what you’ve accepted as normal.
