PBL Leadership - Become a Confident Leader | E84

PBL Simplified for Administrators by Magnify Learning

Episode • Jul 6, 2022 • 17m

Our leadership episodes in July are going to revolve around confidence and how to be a confident leader. Our main topic today is about how to become a competent leader. I’m going to use some examples from The Confident Mind: A Battle-Tested Guide to Unshakable Performance by Dr. Nate Zinsser.

I’ll talk about the E-S-P approach and how to draw inspiration from times when things go well. I’m also going to talk about leaders creating a clear vision in the “need to know” which ties into the main topic. It helps to make sure your vision is very clear for you and then allow other people to get on board with that vision.

Episode Highlights:

[02:13] Opening "need to know" as a business leader, how do I launch my vision? How do I get everyone on board?

[02:45] Leaders have a vision of what the school can be.

[03:42] 1. Write out a clear distinct vision script. Think about staff, communications, impact etc. Start with the end in mind and work your way back.

[04:23] 2. Give people an opportunity to speak into that vision. Bring people in and find out where you can tie them into your vision.

[05:55] 3. How do you get everyone on board? Focus on the why and the innovation curve.

[11:18] Fear of being a good leader comes from lacking confidence. Dr. Zinsser talks about the first win taking place in our minds.

[12:03] We need to visualize things going well.

[13:30] Use the E-S-P approach and look back on your day and find one spot where you had a really great effort. Wins will inspire more wins and confidence inspires more confidence.
