PiXL Leadership Bookclub
PiXL ( a We Are In Beta production)
Everything rests on leadership. Each fortnight on PiXL’s Leadership Bookclub, Rachel Johnson, PiXL CEO, will be joined by two school leaders to discuss one non-educational leadership book that can change the way we think, teach, and lead.
Reflecting, they talk about the lessons they have learned about their own leadership, and the result is honest, candid conversation, with practical takeaways for all educators.

The Infinite Game
In this episode, Rachel Johnson is joined by school leaders Dominique Gobbi and James Heale to discuss Simon Sinek’s book, 'The Infinite Game'. Reflecting on their own experiences in leadership, the trio discuss Sinek’s view of an ‘infinite mindset’ and how it could lead to stronger and more progressive school environments. They draw on the importance of collaboration, the notion of ‘worthy rivals’ rather than competitors, and the fallacy of focusing just on performance outcomes as a metric. PiXL is a partnership of 3,000 schools and colleges spanning KS1-5, focusing on equipping leaders and teachers to bring a better future and brighter hope to young people.
