No More Heroes
October 25, 2011
Resist the limitations of standardized curriculum, and claim, instead, the exhilaration of creating a new world, together with children.

This is the assessment of Margaret Wheatley writing in Ode Magazine (October 2011). Rather than relying on heroic leaders who take control, Wheatley advises that we need "leaders who... are welcoming, caring, and respectful of the people with whom they work." She argues...
"So much becomes possible when leaders rely on other people's creativity and commitment. These leaders bear witness to people's capacity to engage in work, to collaborate well and to stay engaged long enough to discover solutions. Leaders learn to trust everyone has gifts to offer and that most people want to work on behalf of something greater than themselves."
