"If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader."
-John Quincy Adams

Think of the best leaders you have ever had. How did they make you feel? How did they lift you up and empower you to let your strengths shine? How did they strive to connect with you and learn from you? I recently had George Couros on my Run Your Life show. George is a world renowned leadership consultant and an author of two books, The Innovator's Mindset and Innovating Inside the Box.

In George's book, The Innovator's Mindset, he encourages teachers and administrators to empower their learners to wonder, to explore—and to become forward-thinking leaders. He firmly believes that if we want innovative students, we need innovative educators. In other words, innovation begins with every educator working in a school. 

This book has been widely read by educators around the world and led to George writing his second book, Innovating Inside the Box, which deeply focuses on 
creating purposeful learning opportunities for all students. 

In the episode that we recorded, George dives deeply into the impact that a great leader can have on the people who they serve and the importance of leadership at all levels across a school. As well, George speaks about an important mentor that he had early in his career that recognized his strengths and helped to develop him into the leader that he became. This is a great conversation about leadership, learning, and about striving for both personal and professional excellence.
