When I was first promoted into a leadership role I was
paralyzed. I was good at my job but I had no idea how to lead
others to do the same. Our Everyday Innovator guest today, Toni
Shelton, realized that setting people up for leadership success
before they actually took on the roles is essential for their
success. As the Manager for the Office of Professional Development
for Denver Public Schools, she created a program that allowed
people to get skills and experience their future selves will need
as leaders. Toni also talks about how important being humble and
shifting the focus from self to others is in becoming a leader.
Toni also opens up innovation in education with how the last two
years have forced the school system to change in areas they
previously thought were unchangeable, and why massive transparency
is key to removing the resistance to change, especially when you
are stepping into the unknown. She shares how the “can’ts, don’ts,
won’ts” turned into “cans, ares and wills,” and how to change that
in your organization too.
