• The Brute Thing: Leadership Day 2008::Connecting the Dots::

  Nice Blog Post from Edwin Wargo about vision and leadership. I particularly like this phrase about school culture:
  
  "No matter how cool the technology tools, culture, I believe, will win the tug-of-war. There still may be a few trailblazers but systemic buy-in is likely to be minimal. I believe culture ensures the sustainability that Michael Fullan talks about."
