In the past few years, school leaders have faced a constant need to innovate and respond to rapidly changing conditions in their communities, our nation and our world. Now we're all seeking ways to bring healing and strength to our school communities as we move forward. But what else can we learn from these challenging times, and what inspiration can we draw for the future of schools?
The NAIS New View EDU podcast supports school leaders in finding those new possibilities and understanding that evolving challenges require compassionate and dynamic solutions.

This season, NAIS Chief Innovation Officer Tim Fish will delve further into the larger questions about what schools can be, and how they can truly serve our students, leaders, and communities. He'll be joined by brilliant leaders from both inside and outside the education world, as well as author and educator Lisa Kay Solomon.

No prescriptions, no programs- New View EDU provides inspiration to ask new questions, dig into new ideas, and find new answers to the central question: "How can we use what we've learned to explore the future of what our schools are for?"

Find New View EDU on Apple Podcasts, Google Play, Spotify, Stitcher, and many other podcast apps.

Season 2 Episodes

Available April 26

How did the study of "civics" become a boring, drill-and-kill topic? When and why did we stop treating civic literacy as a relevant, necessary skill for students to learn? And how can we reclaim a sense of civic responsibility, citizenship, and future agency in our school communities?

In this episode, Eric Liu, co-founder and CEO of Citizen University, joins hosts Tim Fish and Lisa Kay Solomon to discuss how Citizen University's models of interdisciplinary education can serve as inspiration for more interesting, relevant, active, and inspiring K-12 civic education.
​
What if each of us believed we had the power to make change happen in civic life-and felt we had the responsibility to try? That's the premise behind Citizen University, and the starting point for this discussion on power literacy, changemaking, and civic agency in schools.
What's the difference between educating students for the future, and simply "doing school?" Are we designing school communities that foster the development of better adults, or are we clinging to old ideas about content and rigor that no longer serve us well? And what role do parental expectations, higher ed, and societal pressure play in the decisions we make about how schools function?

In this episode, Denise Pope joins host Tim Fish to talk about how a total reframe of our definitions of success, the purpose of school, and what well-being looks like are vital to turning the tide after the challenges of the past few years. Denise is a speaker, author, senior lecturer at the Stanford Graduate School of Education and co-founder of Challenge Success.

Arguing that schools exist to create "better adults" for our collective future, Denise delves into a wealth of research and experience showing that what we say we believe about the importance of well-being in schools, and what we actually design into our educational frameworks, are fundamentally mismatched.
After the many challenges of the past two years, how healthy are our school communities? How attuned are we to the lessons we can learn from the people and influences around us? How can we approach learning with gentleness, curiosity, care, and a sense of wonder? And what do mushrooms have to do with any of it?

In this episode, learning instigator and love activist Michelle King joins Tim Fish and Lisa Kay Solomon to talk about how schools can become incubators of the beloved community, and how integral a sense of wonder and belief in the inherent value of each person is to creating environments where student and staff well-being can thrive.
Independent schools are inherently mission-driven. What would happen if they focused on becoming purpose-driven instead? How would schools define their purpose, and how would school communities be changed through purpose-driven leadership?

In this episode, John Gulla and Donna Orem join host Tim Fish for an in-depth discussion on how independent schools are situated during this pivotal moment in society-and how our school cultures can contribute to everything from improving educational practices to reviving civil discourse and civic engagement. John is the executive director of the Edward E. Ford Foundation and comes from a long career in independent schools. Donna is the president of NAIS.
We're used to working and teaching in hierarchical structures, where power flows from the top down. But what would happen if, instead of maintaining power at the top, leaders gave power away to others? How could sharing power change the way we work, the way we relate to others, and the way we approach problem-solving? And what would schools look like if everyone was part of a constellation of contributors?

This episode features a recording of Matthew Barzun's live keynote conversation with NAIS Chief Innovation Officer Tim Fish at the 2022 NAIS Annual Conference. Matthew, whose resume includes work in entrepreneurship, political campaigns, and U.S. ambassadorships to the United Kingdom and Sweden, is the author of The Power of Giving Away Power: How the Best Leaders Learn to Let Go. Starting from the unexpected point of the founding of our nation, Matthew delves into the question of how to create systems that allow each individual to be both unique and interconnected. How can we be "stars" in the constellation while also creating part of a bigger picture? And how does sharing power with others help to create that constellation?

What does it mean to teach the future? How can educators apply imagination and critical thinking to big questions about science, technology, artificial intelligence, and shaping the future?

In this episode, Ruth Wylie joins Tim Fish and Lisa Kay Solomon to share some of the innovative and creative ways in which she and her colleagues have made complex futures thinking accessible and meaningful to students of all ages. Ruth is the assistant director for the Center for Science and the Imagination at Arizona State University.

Asserting that futures thinking is as valuable as historical understanding, Ruth advocates weaving discussions and imaginative explorations of possible futures into existing classroom study. Bringing the future into the classroom is about telling a "continuous story," and it can be as simple as finding new ways to help students imagine their own successful futures, or as deep as inspiring them to change the future for everyone.
Societies depend on our ability to "play well together." But at a time when there are so many perceived threats to our well-being from external forces, how can we convince leaders of the importance of play? And what unique value does play bring to our schools and communities?

We tend to think of playtime as the province of young children. Jill Vialet, a social entrepreneur, author, visiting scholar at UC Berkeley, and founder of PlayWorks, has devoted her career to proving otherwise. In this episode, Jill joins Tim Fish and Lisa Kay Solomon to explain why the way we think about play as a part of our society deserves a second look. Drawing on her decades of experience working with schools and students, Jill argues that the basic skills and practices of play are the underpinnings of what makes people and societies successful. From learning to communicate, to assessing and surviving risk, to negotiation, compromise, and creative problem-solving, play is the natural platform that allows people to learn and practice important skills. Those skills, in turn, inform every part of our world, including how we work together and progress as a democracy. What is the goal of modern education, and are we designing our schools and practices properly to help us meet that goal?

Jay McTighe, a veteran educator and accomplished author with more than 50 years' experience in the field, joins hosts Tim Fish and Lisa Kay Solomon to delve into what he believes defines deeper learning in the 21st century. McTighe provides a detailed road map to help educators navigate the answers to important questions. What should a school's mission statement include? What is the most productive and meaningful structure for "professional development" days? And what are we missing when we focus on covering content instead of designing our classrooms for deeper learning?
Season 1 Episodes
Imagine that we have been given the opportunity to completely redesign the concept of school. Where would we go?

During the COVID-19 pandemic, educators have been forced to reimagine almost every aspect of school, changing our ideas about what's truly essential. As we rest, recover, and reflect on the past year, we can also refine our vision for the future. NAIS President Donna Orem and celebrated author and speaker on the future of education, Michael B. Horn, join us to talk about redesigning the purpose and future of schools, collaborations between K-12 and higher education, and creating a culture of well-being in school communities. 2020 made us think about school safety in a completely different way from before. As we move forward, how can we redefine what we mean by "safety," and imagine new ways to create school environments, conditions, and cultures of true safety and well-being?

It's not just physical safety measures, like masks and social distancing, that mark the pandemic as a turning point for school safety. Some experts believe that the main work of educators in 2021-and for the foreseeable future-will be trying to mitigate the effects of COVID-19 and multiple big-picture social and cultural traumas on student achievement. In a landscape where trauma is an ongoing reality of American life for many members of our school communities, how do we envision forward-thinking systems that effectively treat emotional well-being as a core construct for teaching and learning? Celebrated architect Barry Svigals, who helped to reimagine and rebuild Sandy Hook Elementary School after the tragedy, joins us to share his philosophy on school safety. Also with us is Barry's friend and colleague Sam Seidel, Stanford K12 Lab director of strategy and research. I t's easy to say, "Have a good day at school!" But are we actually designing the environments that will support our students and staff in having good days?

In a world that's only becoming more complex, simple concepts like having a good day can almost feel too rudimentary to think about. School leaders have plenty to do without worrying about who's having a good day and who's not. But having a good day is much more complicated-and far more important-than it seems. Some of our most talented staff are burned out. Our highest-achieving students leave the classroom uncertain about their ability to navigate the world with confidence and agency. Leadership expert, executive coach, and author Caroline Webb shares the research behind the science of thriving, and how changing your practices to help everyone have better days can fundamentally improve almost every aspect of education. Wh at does it mean to be a citizen of this world, of our community, and of our future? What does "citizen" mean, anyway? And what is the role of schools in growing citizens-or what should it be?

The current reality facing schools is one of rapidly changing social and political conditions that affect educators, students, and communities as a whole. Whether it's a question of how personal choices impact collective health, or finding the right balance in helping a school community process and respond to current events, school leaders are grappling with the role of educators in teaching citizen behavior in the classroom. Does our current "civics" curriculum go far enough in helping students identify ways they can become engaged members of a thriving society? Or is "civics" just the tip of the iceberg, leaving the larger topics of developing personal agency and community engagement unexplored in our schools? In this episode, Tim Fish and Lisa Kay Solomon are joined by Baratunde Thurston, award-winning writer, activist, comedian, and host of the podcast How to Citizen With Baratunde. Together, they explore the idea of changing our mindset about the word "citizen," from engaging with it as a noun to treating it as a verb-a set of guiding principles that can be translated into actions each person can take to contribute to society. Are we creating school environments that allow us to see the "assumed awesomeness" in everyone? Now, more than ever before, school leadership is about modeling hope, resilience, and a sense of possibility, so we can support our communities in developing their collective superpowers.

School leadership has never been easy, but at this moment in particular, there are new challenges and opportunities that could completely transform school, for better or worse. What is the role of a leader at this point in time? What are the practices that will help school leaders navigate the ambiguity and uncertainty ahead while staying true to a vision for their communities? This year, and the years ahead, are going to be a test of resilience, trust and courage. And to pass the test, CEO coach, author, and executive director of the Fuqua/Coach K Center on Leadership and Ethics at Duke University Sanyin Siang believes we'll have to make a fundamental shift to prioritizing relationships in our schools. In this episode, hosts Tim Fish and Lisa Kay Solomon invite Sanyin to apply her learnings from working with top leaders from the military, athletics, and global entrepreneurship to the school setting. What are the essential understandings, skills, and practices school leaders can adapt from other settings to create dynamic and supportive environments for students and staff? How can we learn from the legacies of great leaders to transform our own teams and live lives of significance? Structure is, and always has been, an important element of school. We create systems, benchmarks, routines, schedules, and ways of "doing school" that allow us to measure and define the learning process. But we know that too much structure can have its downsides, sometimes sapping creativity, joy, and inspiration from the experience of school. How can school leaders create the right amount of structure to support emerging agency while giving space for new ideas? And how can we learn to view challenges or setbacks as new possibilities instead of disruptions? Author, co-founder of the online learning space Yellow, and associate fellow at Oxford's Saïd Business School Rob Poynton joins New View EDU to share how improvisation can be a game-changer for school leaders.

In this episode, hosts Tim Fish and Lisa Kay Solomon chat with Rob about how schools can become more Yellow-or in other words, how the same thoughtful, seemingly loosely structured approaches to learning and discovery Rob has designed in his online learning space might be adapted to K-12 schools. What opportunities might reveal themselves if we instead learn to let go and apply the principles of improvisation to leading our communities? With greater flexibility and a spirit of possibility, can we use this moment to imagine School 2.0? As educators and school leaders hone their methods in response to a growing understanding of the importance of representation and culturally responsive practices in the classroom, New View EDU dives into the subject with a transformative conversation on the power of structured imagination in creating inclusive cultures. Guests Lonny Brooks and Ahmed Best are, together, the co-hosts of the Afrofuturist podcast and creators of the game Afro-Rithms From the Future. Lonny is also a futurist, scholar, professor of communications, and co-principal investigator for the Long Term and Futures Thinking in Education Project; Ahmed is an award-winning actor best known for his role as Jar Jar Binks in the Star Wars films, as well as a writer, director, producer, futurist, and science fiction devotee. They delve into how their shared understanding of the future-thinking orientation inherent in the Black American experience, and the lack of representation of the Black community in the science fiction and gaming worlds, led to their creation of a communal game experience devoted to "democratizing the future." They also share what their work means for educators and schools everywhere. Exploring how sensitivity to the importance of every individual's perspective and intrinsic value develops student agency, Lonny and Ahmed reflect on the ways in which educational and social structures may stifle the emergence of vitally needed new voices and points of view. How do educators support our young people in becoming independent, thriving, adaptable, confident learners? How do we encourage them to develop a sense of their own agency and shape their lives, rather than having their lives dictated to them? And what is the role of schools in creating capable, responsible adults-not just high-stat students who achieve academically but struggle to "adult" beyond the classroom? Julie Lythcott-Haims, New York Times bestselling author of Your Turn, Real American, and How to Raise an Adult, joins New View EDU to shed light on how our current concepts in education may be inadvertently restricting students' growth. In this episode, hosts Tim Fish and Lisa Kay Solomon talk with Julie about her personal concept of "rooting for humans" and her investment in helping all people thrive. A former dean at Stanford University, Julie shares how her own observations about the emerging harm of helicopter parenting led her to begin exploring how young people suffer when they're deprived of opportunities to develop agency, self-determination, and problem-solving skills. More deeply, Julie examines the ways in which true inclusion and care for every student make a stark difference in the educational landscape. Are we being good ancestors? This thought-provoking question strikes at the heart of what it means to design for the future. What can school leaders do right now, in the present, to ensure that long-term thinking is a pervasive, prominent practice in our schools?

In this episode-in the temporary absence of co-host Tim Fish-Lisa Kay Solomon sits down with Roman Krznaric to dig deeply into the concept of being a "good ancestor." Roman, a public philosopher, bestselling author, and founder of the world's first empathy museum, explains how the good ancestor framework can be a foundational guiding principle for school leaders. Starting from the place of asking what legacy our present-day decisions will leave for future generations, Roman traces good ancestor thinking from indigenous cultures to present-day innovations. He shares how grounding futures thinking in a deep understanding of empathy can lead people to make radically different choices than they would make under other conditions. And he makes the argument that the way we approach strategic planning may not actually be very future-focused at all. After a season of conversations about education, leadership, and the future, we're pausing to reflect. What changes do we need to make to our systems and practices to best support students in navigating a future shaped by the events of 2020? Teaching and learning through a pandemic and a period of historic social and political change has exposed cracks in our system-but also surprising strengths. What have we learn ed to value more highly in our learning environments? What new, meaningful contributions were made by students, and what enabled them to make those contributions? And how do we design new, better systems of education that support the changes we want to introduce?

In this episode, hosts Tim Fish and Lisa Kay Solomon highlight some of the "good news" in a panel discussion with NAIS President Donna Orem and three dynamic, committed independent school heads: Ashley Harper of Wakefield School (VA), Lisa Yvette Waller of Berkeley Carroll School (NY), and Luthern Williams of New Roads School (CA). Together, our guests represent nearly 100 collective years of experience in education. They share reflections on the themes of student agency, well-being, and purpose that have been core to the conversations throughout the first nine episodes of this season, as well as personal observations and experiences of pivoting to not just meet, but embrace and conquer, the constantly evolving challenges of the pandemic.

The 9 Types of Leadership by Beatrice Chestnut

# data[].attributes.body
This book is a favorite of mine. It showcases how the Enneagram can be used in a work setting, both in being aware of the type of your employees so you know how to best work with them and in being aware of your own strengths and weaknesses as a leader. I love the lists in the book as a great tool- Mental, Emotional, and Behavioral Patterns; What Types are Really Good At; How Types Can Go Wrong When They Try Too Hard; Tips for What To Do to Work Well with Type; How Types Can Become More Self-Aware, Effective, and Happy at Work; etc.

Summary:

The All Blacks, New Zealand national rugby team, are the most successful professional sports franchise in history, undefeated in over 75% of their international matches over the last 100 years. Legacy dives deep to uncover what is needed in developing an extraordinary high-performance culture and how to maintain it over time. What do we — as individuals, companies, and teams — learn from them? How do you achieve world-class standards, day after day, week after week, year after year? How do you handle the pressure? What do you leave behind you after you’re gone? What will be your legacy?

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
"You are never too important to do the little things that must be done."

"Good leaders balance pride and humility: an absolute pride in performance; a complete humility in front of the magnitude of the task."

"The challenge is always to improve, always move forward, even when you are the best. Especially when you are the best."

"A handful of talented individuals without personal discipline will lead to final failure. Character triumphs over talent."

"If you establish a culture of effort higher than your opponent, you win."

"Vision without action is a dream. Action without vision is a nightmare."

"Our values determine our character. Our character decides our worth."

"The impressive success of the All Blacks in the field comes from a particular way of behaving outside it. Your role is to leave the shirt in a better place."

"A culture of asking and questioning fundamental questions leaves out useless beliefs, and helps to achieve a clearer execution of your goal. Humility allows us to ask ourselves a very simple question: how can we do this better?"

"The better the questions, the more valuable the answers."

"Humility is a fundamental part of a balanced character. And it is something essential in the mana, the maori and polynesian word which encompasses so many qualities: authority, status, personal power, personal attitude, charisma, and according to the New Zealand dictionary, great character and personal prestige. Humility is not weakness, it is just the opposite."

"Select your players based on their character, above their talent."

"We sought to create and environment that would stimulate players and make them want to be part of it."

"The military has an acronym, VUCA: volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous. It describes a world of changing interrelations that has to undergo sudden changes of uncertain consequences; a difficult world to decipher and impossible to predict."

"Teams that will thrive in this VUCA world will be those that act quickly and decisively to take advantage of the competitive circumstances; those that are adjusted and readjusted during the process. Either you adapt, or you lose. A sustained competitive advantage is achieved by developing a spirit that does not stop adjusting itself. Adaptation is not a reaction but a continuous action. So, plan to give a good answer."

"Organizational decline is inevitable, unless leaders prepare for change, even when they are on the cups of success."

" " The emotional binder of every culture (be it a religion, a nation or a team) is a feeling of identity and purpose", says Owen Eastwood. What we identify with are the things we recognize as important to us, for our deepest values... This way of making sense has the emotional power to modify behaviour."

"It is more important how we feel about something than what we think of it."

"If you have people who believe in what you believe, they will work for you with blood, sweat and tears."

"Nutrition, Physical, Technical, Practical, Equipment and Mental. They are the six pillars on which excellence and success are built. " I t's funny: when the team isn't working well, you look at the base stones and you find the reason", says McCaw."

" " My army won because I knew why I was fighting, and what they knew they liked", said Oliver Cromwell. For that tribe of warriors in New Zealand, it was the first step to become a team."

"By passing responsibility, by creating a sense of belonging, solvency and trust, leaders generate leaders."

"Shared responsibility means shared ownership. A feeling of inclusion allows individuals to feel more willing to surrender to the common cause."

"By giving their team an intention, leaders allow their people to respond adequately to a changing context without losing sight of the tactical imperative."

"Wise leaders delegate responsibility in order to create players committed to the team and able to adapt to meet what is expected of them. By creating a delegated leadership structure, leaders create belonging autonomy and initiative. They offer their people a purpose and are able to visualize the final result, to outline the plan, to offer the right results and to trust what their people will fulfill. The result is a team of individuals prepared to cope at a time when it is necessary to do so, a team of leaders in the field."

"Be the best you can be. Success is a modest improvement carried out continuously."

"Excellent companies and teams do not believe in excellence, they only believe in constant improvement and constant change. Its success is the result of a long-term commitment to improve excellence, the result of a series of small steps that produce a powerful leap."

"Wise leaders favor a structured system that promotes team development, combined with a custom-made map for individual development."

"Alfred Chandler, the business world historian who won the Pulitzer Prize, once wrote that the structure follows the strategy. The new organizational are the result of strategic imperatives. It follows that you can have all the will in the world, but if you don't have the right structure, your strategy will not be successful. Moreover, a wrong structure leads, de facto, to a wrong strategy."

"Marginal improvements: one hundred things done one percent better to gain a competitive advantage."

"Melee coach Mike Cron is also a sports scholar. In the Samoa Times, he said: " A part of my contract with New Zealand allows me to go anywhere in the world to improve my knowledge. I've been watching sumo or judo in Japan, with the New York Knicks, with the Yankees and with the Giants, and in a Florida football field... Everything to get ideas.""

"Leaders who achieve more success go beyond their own field to discover new points of view, learn best practices and push the boundaries. Then they communicate what they have learned."

"The first step of learning is silence; The second step is to listen."

"A flock of birds draws an elegant V in the dawn sky. One of the birds is in the lead, the other follows, another takes command, in a endless system of mutual support. It is very similar to a squat of professional cyclist (...) Ornithologists say that flying in this way is 70% more efficient than doing it alone. If a bird leaves the formation, notice the wind resistance and rejoin the flock. If one of them lags behind, others wait for him until he can recover his rhythm. No bird is left behind."

" " Everything is in the team, to be honest", says the legendary Andrew Mehrthens of the All Blacks. It's about thinking about the interest of the group rather than your own... If something is not good for the team, don't say it and don't do it."

" " Respect, as a value, is a diffuse concept", says Eastwood, " but it will have an impact when players decide that means not to take a phone during meetings, not to step on the conversations of others, etc. Values alone run the risk of becoming an ornament and of having no meaning. But defining and applying those standards must be done from below (...) They are young boys, they are on television, they have a lot of money, everything is new, people follow them -explains Anton Oliver- ; but, if you don't reflect on the team's culture... those guys are going to fuck you"

"If a disaffected or selfish individual infects the group, he must be expelled. Then the group will join and heal."

"You are an All Black twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week."

"If you insist on doing only the best, you often get it."

The key is to understand that there is an abysmal difference between being afraid of criticism or failure, and mastering that fear to produce a positive effect.

""The history of the All Blacks in rugby has been such a success that the expectation in New Zealand is that we win all the friendly test matches"", says Graham Henry, "and I think this is good for the team. If that expectation did not exist, I am sure that we would not reach the level we reached"."

We have a quote -explains Fitzpatrick-: "Don't be a good All Black. Be a great All Black. Don't settle for reaching your goals. Aim higher"."

Daniel Kahneman reminds us that the statements do not need to respond to the truth. A message, unless it is immediately rejected as a lie, will have the same effect on our associations system regardless of whether it responds to reality (...) The fact that the story is true or credible matters little or nothing.

""Training and wise decision making should be more difficult than the game", says Wayne Smith. "Therefore, you try to throw problems at them, unexpected events, to force them to solve problems."

"The Department of Surgery at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, a university hospital in New York City, has developed something called the trigger for laparoscopic skills, an intensity-based video game for surgeon training. The laparoscopic surgeons who trained for three hours a week with that video, managed to lower their errors by a third. And they carried out their performance 25% faster that those who did not train. Training with intensity accelerates personal growth."

"Acting under pressure requires knowing what to do. In Brosnahan's words, "allow yourself to win by following the process instead of getting caught in the results"."

"Most organizations do not focus on a mental strength training program. They tend to focus on exceptional achievements, which is unrealistic: a training session, a day out, an inspiring talk, but nothing continuous and progressive. Few organizations focus on long-term development, on an improvement program."

"When Smithy talks about intensity and precision we are talking about a process of clarity, playing with intensity and precision, which would be the opposite of "Shit, I have to win this game. Look at the score, it's 8-8: it's a disaster!" and the you get paralyzed and you drown, you go overboard, you don't trust your partners and all that."

"Mastery in any activity (a sport, a skill, an art, a business) is achieved through practice. The practice improves with intensity. Many studies have shown that our mind and our body respond positively to an accelerated and intense learning diet, which provides us with a drastic improvement and a great competitive advantage. The All Blacks accept the power of training intensity to win. And they work with random scenarios and unexpected challenges to gauge the tolerance of players in situations under pressure. The goal is to gain clarity and precision in stressful circumstances, as well as improve the ability to direct attention to the present and the task. Wise leaders use intensity to challenge themselves and their teams; to increase competition and capacity. Just as physical exercises are basic to physical fitness, psychological training is essential for building strength and mental resilience."

""A single minute decides the end of a battle" -wrote Suvorovz-; "One hour, the outcome of a campaign, one day, the fate of empires"."

""Most athletes who do not belong to the elite identify themselves with the fact that, at the critical moment, it is when they are most likely to fail", says Matthew Syed. It may be before a vital job interview, or when you are about to talk to the woman of your dreams..., and that happened to me. Suddenly, I was unable to do what I had been training for a lifetime. Bad decisions do not come because of a lack of skill or an innate bad judgment: they respond to the inability to handle pressure at the crucial moment."

"It works as follows: where we direct our mind is where our thoughts take us; our thoughts provoke and emotion; emotion defines our behavior; our behavior defines our performance. So, simply if we are able to control our attention and, therefore, our thoughts, we can manage our emotions and improve our performance."

" : Tension, inhibition, results-oriented, anxious, aggressive, excessive compensation, desperate.
: Relaxed, expressive, in the moment, calm, clear, precise, in the task."

"Controlling our attention means returning to the present.

Instead of "What if we run out of resources?", we should ask to ourselves: "What is the best way to use our resources?". Instead of "What if I don't get the contract?", we should ask to ourselves: "What can I do to get the contract?"."

"Fight pressure with pressure, that is, instead of feeling it, we can apply it. By controlling our attention, we control our performance; by controlling our performance, we control the game."

"Gilbert Enoka uses the analogy of a bridge that is safe because it is made of different boards: a personal skills, friends, family, being one of the All Blacks. If the only board you have is rugby, you will fall apart."

""I think leadership begins and ends with authenticity. It's about being yourself, being the person you should be. Adopting the style of other leaders is the opposite of being authentic"."

""I think that at the beginning we did not handle defeat very well -explains Anton Oliver-. He pointed a lot with his finger, everyone was very isolated. That changed a lot when the team became more collective and assumed the weight of defeat together and shared"."

"Authenticity - according to Lance Secretan - is the alignment of head, mouth, heart and feet: think, say and do the same in a coherent way. That builds confidence. And people love leaders they can trust."

""It was at the hotel -says Benson Stanley, a young man who is about to debut with the All Blacks- where one of the veterans approached, tapped me on the shoulder and asked me two questions to think about... First, what do I have to offer for the team? And, second, what am I willing to sacrifice? They are very important questions"."

""It is not the crowd that runs one kilometer more". says an ancient quote. In the extra km. we are alone: only us and the empty road, only us and the challenge we have set. It is the work that we do behind closed doors that makes the difference in the field where we compete, and doesn't matter if we are in a team or if we lead a business or if we run our life."

"Two weeks after winning the World Cup, Ben brought a coach from the United States. "These are the things I need to work; These are my weaknesses", was the first thing he said."

""What does it mean for you to sacrifice yourself?" It's something Andrew Mehrtens asks the teams he trains. In a team there is everything, get out of your comfort zone, do more, do more than what you are asked for, or do more than another will do. "Train yourself more than a non-All Black" we used to say"."

"The motto " Champions do more " refers to the effort and extra sacrifice necessary to carry out something extraordinary. Whatever we do in our lives, we are giving our lives for it; so we better make sure it's worth it, Kill time is to commit suicide little by little. So, what are we willing to give our lives to? As leaders, what kind of life are we going to lead? That starts doing more: one more repetition, one more effort, one more race. Think of Buckminster Fuller: what is my work on the planet? What needs to be done? Something about what I know and probably won't happen if I don't take action on the matter. What is that extra that will make us extraordinary?"

"Leaders are storytellers. All the big organizations were born from an exciting story. This central and organizing thought helps people understand what they stand for and why they do it."

"Three words became central to the All Blacks: Humility, Excellence and Respect."

"The idea of humility as a core value makes the team have their feet on the ground and promotes respect, encourages curiosity and creates links that support the team during the heat of battle."

""Culture is like an organism, it is constantly changing and growing", says Owen Eastwood. It ensure that identity and purpose must always be renewed and reinterpreted to give them meaning. "This cultural environment is changing without stopping. It's not something static" confirms Anton Oliver.

""Building trust, helping people develop and having high-performance behaviours are tasks that never end", says Eastwood. Rituals are key to strengthening emotional cohesion.

"Although haka is the most famous ritual, it is not the only one that the All Blacks have. When Jonah Lomu received his first black shirt, it was John Kirwan who gave it to him: an emblematic predecessor who played in his same position. "Ok, you got it", said Sean Fitzpatrick, "you're one of the All Blacks: enjoy it." Then Kirwan added: "But this is only the beginning. What you must do now is to be the best All Black who ever weared the eleven number"."

"When the All Blacks dance the haka (or get up on the bus to shout on their way to Wales) they connect with something bigger than them. They are making the metaphor their own, they are connecting their personal history with the history of the team."

"Rituals tell your story, involve your people, create a legacy. Rituals make the intangible real. Rituals work as a psychological process: a transition from one state to another. They take us to a new space of identity. A new identity for the team."

"The shirt is not yours, you are only the body that wears that shirt at that time. Our job is to continue the legacy and make it grow every time we have the opportunity. The current All Blacks team plays for the boys who have worn the shirt before. That is tremendously important for kids now. The legacy is more intimidating than the rivals."

"What you leave behind is not what is engraved on the stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others."

"In the All Blacks, in parenthood, in business, in life, it's about leaving the shirt in a better place. And to do that it is necessary to have character."

""For me, life is not a short candle", wrote Bernard Shaw. It is a kind of splendid torch that I hold for the moment and I want to make it shine as brightly as possible before passing it on to future generations."

"Great teams play for a high cause. From joining and inspiring New Zealanders to ubuntu; from semper fidelis to democratizing the car or making the world a better place for everyone or having a dream: the most inspiring leaders play a more important game."

"Character is forged from how we respond to the challenges posed by life and business, from how we direct our lives and teams. If we value life, life values us. The leadership lies, no doubt, in the example we set. The way we lead our own life is what makes us leaders."

"When a player reaches the All Blacks, he receives a book. It is a small black book bound in leather, very pleasant to the touch. On the first page, a shirt is drawn, that of the 1905 Originals, the team that started this long whakapapa. The next page shows another shirt, that of the Invincibles of 1924; On the next page, we see another shirt and another and another. So until today. It is a visual whakapapa full of meaning, a legacy to join. The following pages of this All Blacks manual refer to principles, heroes, values, code of honor, ethos and team character. The rest of the pages are blank. They wait to be filled."

I'm honestly struggling with thinking of Thought Leaders because I am just now getting into leadership, but I do want to shoutout amazing professors I have in my doctoral program who I look up to so much: Dr. Paquette, Dr. Machado, and Dr. Laverick. They are all so well-published and amazing in the field of education--I really look up to them.

This book helped illuminate the need for being honest in your conversations. People don't know what to fix if you don't tell them. You don't know what people are thinking unless you ask them.

Another great book by the same team as "Difficult Conversations"--terrific for those who will be delivering feedback.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The bestselling authors of the classic Difficult Conversations teach us how to turn evaluations, advice, criticisms, and coaching into productive listening and learning Thanks for the Feedback is the first book to address this tension head on. It explains why getting feedback is so crucial yet so challenging, and offers a powerful framework to help us take on life's blizzard of off-hand comments, annual evaluations, and unsolicited advice with curiosity and grace. in the workplace and in personal relationships as well.

We swim in an ocean of feedback. Bosses, colleagues, customers-but also family, friends, and in-laws-they all have "suggestions" for our performance, parenting, or appearance. We know that feedback is essential for healthy relationships and professional development-but we dread it and often dismiss it.

That's because receiving feedback sits at the junction of two conflicting human desires. We do want to learn and grow. And we also want to be accepted just as we are right now.

The business world spends billions of dollars and millions of hours each year teaching people how to give feedback more effectively. Stone and Heen argue that we've got it backwards and show us why the smart money is on educating r e ceivers- Difficult Conversations , Stone and Heen have spent the last ten years working with businesses, nonprofits, governments, and families to determine what helps us learn and what gets in our way. With humor and clarity, they blend the latest insights from neuroscience and psychology with practical, hard-headed advice. The book is destined to become a classic in the world of leadership, organizational behavior, and education.
