Cale Birk: Impact Before Action - The #InnovatorsMindset #Podcast S4 EP31
Channel: George Couros
Date: 10/09/2023

Cale Birk asks great questions in this episode of The Innovator’s Mindset Podcast! If you heard the Three Questions episode, be sure to check out this episode too because Birk shares even more powerful explanations about the impact we have - what is the tangible thing that we want to see from our learning? Birk’s ideas will help create a connection between the vision of the administration team and the work being done in classrooms. Birk discusses how to begin with the impact of the work we are doing and what actions will create that impact. 



Quotes:

“For The good leader, 'co' is their friend - co-create, co-design…they are always doing things 'with' rather than 'for' people.” - Cale Burk



“What is the impact you hope to observe? What are the leadership activities or styles you need to adopt? Focus on impact first then action second.” - Cale Burk



“The passion is a good place to start, but then the process needs to come…how do we work towards solutions?” -Cale Burk
