Leaders think and talk about the solutions. Followers think and talk about the problems. In education, this mindset is essential: leaders focus not on obstacles, but on possibilities for learning, growth, and change. – Brian Tracy

When we think of leaders, we often imagine command. But in education, the most transformative leaders are those who listen first, understand deeply, and act with empathy. Listening is itself a form of leading. – Unknown

The measure of a leader is not the number of people who serve them, but the number of people they serve. In education, leadership means bending one’s work toward the flourishing of children and the empowerment of educators.

Great leaders are almost always great simplifiers, who can cut through argument, debate & doubt to offer a solution everyone can understand. In schools, this means grounding innovation in clarity & reminding communities of the simple truth: all children can learn.

USSA President Dan Linford welcomed the Public Education Interim Committee to the Catalyst Center.


Our chief want in life is somebody who will make us do what we can. This is the service of a friend. With leaders in education, this same principle holds true: they bring out the best in students & colleagues by holding a vision of their potential until it becomes real.
