It's a Bit Like Herding

Season Five begins and Kathy Mohney and Penny Brockway return to The Wheelhouse to continue our roundtable discussion of all things Accomplishment-Driven Leadership. What does herding have to do with education? Penny uses a brilliant image in this amazing conversation and you don't want to miss it.

In season four, we spent a lot of time talking about paradigm shifts that Accomplishment-Driven Leaders make.

Why are those shifts so important? Why does an Accomplishment-Drive Leader think differently?

We'll use those paradigm shifts and thinking as we move into Season 5 to continue our journey. In this first episode, Penny, Kathy, and I talk about why we need a new destination. What's wrong with the one we've got?

Find out the answers to these and other important questions in Episode 501!
