As a leader, coach, and recruiter obsessed with tapping into untapped potential, I couldn’t agree more with this critique of our leadership obsession. The current culture forces kids into narrow archetypes of what leadership *should* look like, which only stifles the unique strengths of those who don’t naturally gravitate toward the spotlight. I’ve made it my mission to pull people into leadership who don’t see themselves that way, to crush outdated molds and show that the quiet collaborator or empathetic team player can lead in transformative ways. Leadership isn’t a title—it’s how we elevate others, and schools need to embrace that broader, more inclusive view.
Thank you for saying this! I agree 100%!
Love this message. I see this daily with my two teenage sons. 100%
