🌟 The Power of Wholehearted Leadership: 4 Key Insights from Dr. Kathryn Fishman-Weaver 🌟
In this episode of An Imperfect Leader: The Superintendents and Leadership Podcast, we have an incredible conversation with Dr. Kathryn Fishman-Weaver, the Executive Director of Mizzou Academy.
Some key takeaways from our conversation include:
📖 1. Stories Are the Shortest Distance Between People "Stories are the connective tissue that holds us all together. The space to share who we are - being fully human - doesn't happen by accident."
🤝 2. Wisdom Is Everywhere - Embrace Shared Leadership "The most important ideas for school improvement should come from our communities. Wisdom is ubiquitous. So too is leadership."
🏛️ 3. Origin Stories Always Matter "When I could understand how much this project meant to the original creators, it changed the ownership everyone had." Honor those who came before!
💎 4. Lead with Values & Embrace Imperfection "Get really clear on your core values - they become your compass for every decision. We're all becoming, and there's power in acknowledging we're imperfect."
Kathryn's after-action story about a curriculum project gone wrong → transformed into an award-winner shows the magic that happens when leaders choose vulnerability and repair over defensiveness. 🔄✨
