Episode 35: The Top 10 TED Talks That Every Private School Leader Should Watch

OK, I know what you’re thinking: “What is the deal with all of these Top 10 lists?”

That’s a fair question considering that:

• Two weeks ago (Episode 33) was titled The Top 10 Leadership Books For Private School Leaders.
• Last week (Episode 34) was called The Top 10 Time Management Books For Busy Private School Leaders
• And this week’s episode is titled The Top 10 TED Talks That Every Private School Leader Should Watch

So, a couple of things. First, no more countdowns for a while. I promise. Second, I figured that early summer is a good time to share some books that can help you grow as a leader. 

Third, I really LOVE TED Talks!

What's not to love? Really smart people, talking about thought provoking and interesting ideas, all in 18 minutes or less! Another reason that you may want to check out today’s episode is because five of the TED Talks are by authors of books that are on one of the top 10 book lists. Therefore, you can get a “sneak peek” of that person and their big ideas and then you might want to read something that they wrote!
