On this episode of the Customer's First Podcast, host Tacey Atkinson welcomes Clint Rush, a multifaceted leader with an impressive background, including an award-winning executive, a decorated combat veteran, and a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt. We delve into Clint's journey, which began at the University of Wisconsin and then took a significant turn following the events of 9/11, which motivated him to join the Army. His military service paved the way for a diverse career in the private sector, including roles in operations, quality, business development, and more. Clint reflects on his transitions from military to civilian life and how each experience has shaped his approach to leadership. Clint shares insights from his time managing a logistics company during the tumultuous period of the COVID-19 pandemic. He emphasizes that overcoming challenges in unprecedented times fosters innovation and provides a unique opportunity to place the customer at the center of business strategy. He acknowledges the complexities of leadership, particularly during crises, and expresses the importance of creating meaningful experiences that stand out in difficult times. The conversation seamlessly shifts to foundational leadership qualities as Tacey and Clint explore what distinguishes a true leader from a mere people manager. Clint articulates that, at its core, leadership is about setting a clear destination and facilitating others' journeys to get there. He highlights the critical role of trust-building within organizations and asserts that vulnerability and transparency about one's shortcomings are vital to fostering a trustworthy environment. Clint also candidly addresses why first-time leaders often struggle, attributing their challenges to fear and the pressure to perform perfectly. He encourages new leaders to embrace their fallibility and view setbacks as opportunities for growth, both personally and within their teams. Drawing parallels between leadership and personal experiences, Clint emphasizes patience as a critical trait for influential leaders, asserting that cultivating a robust team culture takes time and consistent effort. This enriching episode serves as a reminder that effective leadership is rooted in trust, transparency, and genuine care for one's team while also inviting listeners to foster their own customer-centric cultures. Tune in to gain valuable insights into effective leadership and the magic of creating memorable customer experiences.

FocusED: An educational leadership podcast that uncovers what is working in our schools.
This is Season 2, Episode 10 of FocusED, and it features guest, Starr Sackstein. It was originally recorded live for a studio audience in Delaware, provided as a professional development experience for Delaware teachers and leaders. Don't miss what Starr has to say about grading, assessments, changing practices in schools, and much more. _______________________________________ Starr Sackstein Brings Tons of Experience to FocusED Listeners Starr Sackstein was a Teacher Center teacher and ELA teacher at Long Island City High School in New York. She also spent nine years at World Journalism Preparatory School in Flushing, New York, as a high school English and journalism teacher where her students ran the multimedia news outlet WJPSnews.com. As a teacher, she completely got rid of grades, teaching students that learning isn't about numbers, but about the development of skills and the ability to articulate growth. Starr also has experience as the Director of Humanities (Business, English, Library, Reading, Social Studies, and World Languages) in West Hempstead, New York. It was from this experience that she wrote From Teacher to Leader: Finding Your Way as a First-Time Leader Without Losing Your Mind. She is the author of many books (I'm not going to list them all). Here are a few of her titles: Teaching Mythology Exposed: Helping Teachers Create Visionary Classroom Perspective Blogging for Educators, Teaching Students to Self-Assess: How Do I Help Students Grow as Learners?

Hacking Learning Centers in Grades 6-12: Teaching Choice and Providing Small Group Learning Opportunities in Content Rich Classes co-authored with Karen Terwilliger which is set to come out in 2021. At speaking engagements around the world, Starr speaks about blogging, journalism education, bring your own device, and throwing out grades, which was also highlighted in a recent TEDx talk entitled “A Recovering Perfectionist's Journey to Give up Grades.” In 2016, she was named one of ASCD's Emerging Leaders. Starr has spoken internationally in Canada, Dubai, and South Korea on a variety of topics from assessment reform to technology-enhanced language instruction. She is now a full time consultant with the Core Collaborative, working with teams on assessment reform and bringing student voice to the front of all classroom learning. She is also the publisher with Mimi and Todd Press, helping other authors share their voices around making an impact for students such as Belonging Through a Culture of Dignity: The Keys to Successful Equity Implementation by Cobb and Krownapple.

One of the biggest takeaways we’ve learned from this year is the impact of self-reflection, and protecting regular time and space for this. As leaders it’s very easy to become reactive and think short-term. So in this episode, Gillian and OverTime’s Programme Director and Associate Heather Taylor Portman playback the insights they have gained from running management and leadership programmes in 2019, what they have learned from the process, and what they think managers should focus on going into 2020. Hear about practical leadership tools, how OverTime has dealt with lows and leveraged the highs, and what has been learned through facilitating leaders at their ‘Scale Up’ management programme. Resources mentioned in this episode: ‘First Time Leader’ by Gillian Davis ‘Scale Up’ management programme OverTime’s one day masterclasses Hosted by Gillian Davis, co-author 'First Time Leader; Foundational Tools to Inspire and Enable Your New Team' this podcast is to inspire managers to step up and lead their teams.
