Education Talk Radio

Today we're pleased to share a recent episode from The Authority, with host Ross Romano and guest Casey Watt. They discuss Casey’s book, The Craft of Clarity: Six Steps to Bridge Gaps, Foster Commitment, and Create Sustainable Alignment.

Topics include:
  • Misaligned perspectives between teachers and leaders
  • “Clarity precedes capacity.” What does that mean for leaders?
  • Strategy is simple. Clarity is complex. 
  • Many teams think they’re collaborating, but really they’re just coordinating. What’s the difference, and how can leaders move their people from faux collaboration to true collaboration?
