In this week's episode, we sit down with Dr. John Anzalone, Superintendent of the Camas School District (WA).

Dr. Anzalone shares his powerful reflections on leadership and what it truly means to lead with humility. Here are 3 lessons on imperfect leadership and courageous strategy we learned from John:

🌟 1. Establish a Clear North Star: Every financial decision should point back to one thing: students. 

💬 2. Lead with Courage and Vulnerability

🤝 3. Rebuild Trust from Within: 

🎙️ Key Takeaway:
Healthy systems are built on healthy relationships. Reflection, trust, and vulnerability aren't signs of weakness.Tthey're the heart of sustainable leadership.
