  • In Times of Success  Cocky leaders use the word, me, to describe the reason for the team's success.
  • Confident leaders see no use in the word, me, to describe reasons for success.
  • You will hear constant praise for the team as they describe how everyone worked together to make it happen. You will hear no overtones of 'Me' because the leader will be constantly praising the strengths and contributions of every member that played an integral part of the team's success.

  • In Times of Failure
  • The cocky leader will be extremely disappointed and moderately immature. His anger, aggravation, and frustration will reveal itself in the way that he describes the team's failure.
  • The confident leader will acknowledge the fact that 'we' did not win the game; however, the leader will not put the blame on 'we' but on 'me'.
  • Finally, cocky leaders never consider using their words to bring people together as their first priority. Their insecurity won't allow that. However, confident leaders constantly find ways to put their team in the best position to win the game. When they win, the leader gives the team credit for doing so. And when the team loses, the leader takes full blame for not putting the team in the best position to win.

    Only about one in three applicants gets into the course, but a new book tells what goes on behind the classroom door, and how it applies to real-world companies.

    "...trying to create something truly new means generating lots and lots of ideas, with the understanding that most of them are going to be flops. Few businesses are prepared to tolerate, much less encourage, the inevitable failures."

    Top management knows that "on average, about one-third of all projects they attempt will work out," Seelig writes. "That means that, in order to get four successes, they need to do a dozen experiments."

  • Habits are unconscious patterns of behavior that are acquired with frequent repetition
  • 1. They are idea blenders.

  • ...7 more annotations...
  • 2. They ask their biggest critics for feedback.
  • Change agents in education are surrounded by a supportive group of people that can and will give them honest feedback. No one feels scared or defensive in the exchange of feedback, because the educator has been intentional in creating a trusting environment where constructive criticism is welcome.
  • 3. They fail fast and fail forward.
  • They know that failure is an imperative part of the creative process. Innovative educators are brave enough to try new ideas in and outside of the classroom.
  • 4. They are passionately curious.
  • They are constantly learning. This is also why they are idea blenders, because their curiosity leads them into a new web-design class or a subscription to an entrepreneurship online magazine.
  • 5. They believe in their students.

    "Build Community - The school should bring all learners together into a supportive community that nurtures both the individual and the group. The community should permeate all possible spaces, in the classroom, in the home and Online. 2. Encourage Critical Thinking - The school should actively encourage learners to think critically, continually asking the question, "Why do we teach what we teach?" 3. Reward Risk Taking - The school should actively encourage learners to risk failure in the pursuit of understanding. 4. Focus on all Learners - The school should surround the learner with ideas and information, encouraging the learner to pursue a wide variety of paths to knowledge, and supporting the personal growth for all who inhabit the community. 5. Value Diversity - The school should actively encourage and value the input of those both inside and outside the community with a diversity of opinions and experiences. The school should consistently check that it is inclusive and supportive of learners from diverse backgrounds. 6. Nurture all learners - The school should provide opportunities and encouragement for all members of the community including teachers, students and parents to learn and grow. 7. Pursue Innovation - The school should actively explore, pursue and assess new ideas and technologies, while always keeping the learner at the heart of the pursuit. 8. Teach Empathy - The school should actively and explicitly teach learners to think beyond themselves, encouraging students to value kindness and generosity. 9. Break down the walls - The school should provide access and opportunities for learners to reach outside the walls of the school to the neighboring, national and global community. "

  • A connected educator: Believes in sharing and collaboration Uses technology and its connection to other educators to learn and teach Practices and models lifelong learning, which is often a concept professed to students as a goal of education Uses the tools of technology to personalize his or her professional development Is a relevant educator, willing to explore, question, elaborate, and advance ideas through connections with other educators If not comfortable with new technology, still shows a willingness to explore its use Views failure as part of the process of learning May put creation over content, and relevance over doctrine.
  • The real commonality of connected educators is their use of technology to collaborate in the pursuit of lifelong learning.
