Welcome back to another episode of Monday Matters! This week, Will Parker and Jen Schwanke talk about the problem with certainty. Certainty is not a bad thing. It is very soothing and comforting for us, but it doesn’t equal growth. In fact, being certain is a terrible substitute for growth. The idea of leadership as a single individual who believes they do not need help or input is a dangerous one. It’s important for leaders to lean into their relationships with others. Surrounding yourself with people who you can collaborate with to grow is powerful. We don’t want to shut out the voices of other people who might see things that we can’t see ourselves. By welcoming input from other principals, teachers, staff, and even students, we can truly grow as leaders. Listen in to the full conversation to hear more about the problem with certainty!
