Dr. Wortham shared powerful insights on how leaders move systems forward by focusing on culture, confidence, and consistency. If you\u2019re leading a system and striving to create the conditions for lasting transformation, here are 3 key takeaways: \u2728 1. Setting the Atmosphere & Belief-Driven Leadership: Dr. Wortham grounds her leadership in creating a cultural field that gives people permission to grow, develop, and succeed. \ud83e\udd1d 2. Collaborate in Circles, Not Silos: Dr. Wortham structures collaboration through concentric circles: Teacher Circle, Student Circle, etc because \u201cone is too small a number to achieve greatness.\u201d \ud83d\udcda 3. Embrace a Learning Goal Orientation: Leadership means acknowledging imperfection and using it for growth. As Dr. Wortham reminds us: \u201cIt\u2019s okay not to know, but it\u2019s not okay not to know and not to learn.\u201d \ud83c\udfa7 Tune in to the full conversation for powerful stories, including the secret behind her daily rallying cry: \u201cSmart is not something you are; smart is something you get.\u201d #EducationalLeadership #SettingTheAtmosphere #Superintendent #SchoolCulture #LeadershipDevelopment #CollectiveEfficacy #LearningGoalOrientation #ImperfectLeader -------  Follow Host Peter Stiepleman on: LinkedIn: https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/peter-stiepleman-76004819a\/ Website: https:\/\/imperfectleader.com\/ YouTube (video of conversation):   https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@animperfectleaderleadershi5144\/featured Instagram: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/animperfectleader\/ Tiktok: https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@animperfectleader  Follow Co-host Jamie Almanz\u00e1n on: Connect with APC Leadership Collaborative for support in navigating complex leadership situations: https:\/\/www.apccollab.com -------  An Imperfect Leader is sponsored by Yondr.  Schools around the world are seeing the damaging effects of phones on student engagement, social development, and mental health.
