Leaders everywhere are in crisis. People leading organizations and institutions such as schools, districts, nonprofits and governmental bodies are facing uncertainty based on conflicting information, viewpoints and endless decisions that must be made in order to move forward. During these unprecedented times the crises stemming from the pandemic are ongoing. Systemic injustices along racial lines compounded by the economic crises are plaguing the most vulnerable. These stacked crises are intertwined and are especially apparent in the field of education where national and international attention has finally turned. Yet no clear answers exist.
A608 After hours podcast aims to bring voices from the field into the classroom to inspire, inform and ignite leadership dedicated to wrestling with today's stacked challenges. Each week we interview a guest that is doing this most important work in the field and discuss how course concepts surfaced in our A608 Leadership Entrepreneurship and Learning Course come to life in the field. Our guests span multiple roles across different sectors and institutions, and come from varied backgrounds. They, like us, are ready to listen, learn and engage in thoughtful dialog on leadership, entrepreneurship and learning.
