Simplify Your Next Steps 🧰 Grab the CTM Starter Kit - bit.ly/ctmstarter
Does your team know why they are meeting? Without a crystal-clear purpose, your most valued resource—time—is wasted, leading to frustration and unfocused conversations.
In this conversation, Kurtis and Lorna reveal why clarifying purpose is the single most important step in effective team leadership. We break down the science behind consistent communication (repeating the 'why' 5-10+ times) and how to ensure new team members are always aligned with your strategic direction.
Leaders will learn actionable strategies to:
- Establish Purpose Collectively: Move beyond top-down mandates to create shared buy-in and ownership.
- Design Focused Structures: Use clear agendas, dedicated purpose boxes in all communication, and visual posters to keep the 'why' always upfront.
- Communicate Strategically: Extend your purpose clarity to your community (PTA, newsletters) for widespread understanding and support.

What is Building a Culture of Collaboration?
Are you an educational leader or administrator searching for actionable strategies to build effective teams? In the Building a Culture of Collaboration podcast, Jigsaw Learning co-founders Kurtis and Lorna Hewson provide simple, purposeful tips to help you tackle meeting frustration, disengagement, and unproductive teamwork. This is your essential resource for advancing school improvement and collective efficacy.
You will find practical ideas for mastering effective meetings, where you learn the structures, roles, and agendas required to ensure your team meetings (PLCs, staff, student support) are focused and drive action. You'll discover how to shift your organization's mindset from isolated practice to powerful, shared responsibility for ALL students—this is key to teamwork and collaboration. Finally, you'll gain the leadership strategies needed to intentionally build a robust and sustainable culture that maximizes collective capacity and student success. We also talk with thought leaders outside of education, to grow our understanding of effective collaboration and teamwork.
