elements of change

podcast series

stories from education leaders for education leaders about making transformational change in schools and districts.

episode 2 - the organization element


alexis gonzales-black, co-author of 卡塔尔世界杯32强比赛时间 : 6 vital practices for thriving and responsive schools, describes her experience adopting a distributed management system at zappos and provides tips for getting started at your own school or district.

at 瑞士vs喀麦隆亚盘赔率 , we’re a rambunctious band of former educators. as we built our own team, we realized that we were creating hierarchies, processes, and roles that mirror those of our experiences in the k-12 environment. we asked ourselves, “are there were ways to improve meetings?” “how can we free up managers time so they spend more time supporting & creating rather than managing?” and even “how can we empower all employees, not just executives, to be agents of change?” we used our own office to test the theory of distributed management by adopting holacratic structures.

interested in maximizing the capacity of each member on your school or district team, bolstering culture and employee satisfaction, and minimizing wasted work hours? this elements of change episode is for you.
