Author: Matt Foster November 6, 2018 Duration: 5:00
This season is about your people. Over a decade ago in the Harvard Business Review, Jim Collins and Jerry Porras wrote, “Executives spend too much time drafting, wordsmithing, and redrafting vision statements, mission statements, values statements, purpose statements, aspiration statements, and so on. They spend nowhere near enough time trying to align their organizations with the values and visions already in place." Topics in this introduction include: -- Removing Restraints that Limit -- Propensity to Complexity -- Brains Need Simplicity -- Overview of Research on 40 School Districts -- An Actionable Definition of Integrity -- Coming Topics such as the Amygdala, Environments that Matter, Builders of Learning Systems, and Crafters of Learning Cultures

Matt Foster hosts Mafost Mashup, a podcast that translates sharp business and marketing principles into actionable strategies for school leaders. It’s built on the idea that the core challenges of running a school-building a thriving culture, motivating people, and driving meaningful impact-are fundamentally leadership and operational issues. Each episode serves as a mashup of proven concepts from the commercial world, rethought for the unique environment of education. You’ll hear practical, often unconventional, approaches to the daily work of principals and administrators, all aimed at fostering better learning environments. The conversations move beyond theory into the nitty-gritty of implementation, focusing on the human elements that make or break any initiative. For those who lead schools, this podcast provides a steady stream of ideas to refine their practice, engage their teams, and ultimately improve their institutions. It’s a companion for thoughtful leaders who believe that running a school well requires both heart and a keen operational mind. Dive into the Mafost Mashup for perspectives that are directly applicable to the complex, rewarding work of educational leadership.
