Everything has a Beginning

Everything has a beginning right? When you are born, you are at the beginning of learning all these new experiences. When you are going to school, you are learning a whole new set of social norms and expectations. When you enter high school, college, work force, nursing home, all the same.

So why then when people take on leadership they are expected to know everything?

Crunch the numbers however you want to, 700 million people in America, all these different psychology tests, different backgrounds, life experiences, and dang it, get everyone to the same end goal.

Well... how?

There are great works on leadership. There are great works on education. And only recently has the talk on how principals, superintendents, presidents, deans, and anyone else leading should merge the two has begun. The need for the bridge is there, but no one has successfully bridged the gap yet.

That's what this blog aims to do.

Over the next however long, you'll see this evolve out to hopefully become an awesome resource for you as an educational leader, teacher looking for a new way of thinking, or something fun to follow.

Education Leadership University... because all the other names were taken and this has some great branding potential (lesson 1: transparency).

Posts coming soon. Cheers!
