Sabotage is a well-known strategy in times of war. We may not be battling within our schools, but what if the greatest saboteur against progress in your leadership was you?
The first episode of this new Pearls Podcast series takes us into the fascinating realm of “Simple Sabotage,” where we examine covert tactics used by everyday citizens during WWII, inspired by the Simple Sabotage Field Manual created by the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), the precursor to the CIA.
Rachel Johnson (PiXL CEO) delves into what these historical sabotage tactics reveal about our own practices and ourselves. This episode poses important questions to help leaders reflect: are we unwittingly becoming the saboteurs in our own lives?
Explore how to identify and address subtle, self-inflicted sabotages and consider how to lead with clarity and purpose, making sure every step moves your team and your school closer to success, not further from it.
