Franklin was a guest on the podcast Transformative Principal, where Jethro Jones interviews leaders to help school leaders be more effective. Here are the highlights of their discussion:
- You can’t lead others to do something you’re not willing to do yourself.
- Self-leadership in four core areas.
- Gap in what
- Leader who has a deep level of integrity
- Because of the depth of your own integrity
- You can be better, but a great leader is someone who can find people who are better in their area of expertise.
- The thing that we are unwilling to do will cause resentment in those we lead.
- Nobody expects the leader to be better than everyone at everything
- Leaders give people authority and trust to own that part of the organization
- This all starts at home.
- Servant-hearted leadership is the most powerful leadership.
- Doing it at home with your family makes it easier to translate to the workplace.
- The more I hold onto stuff, the more I’m the bottleneck.
- You have to let go in order to grow.
- Priority and sequence to everything.
- Get myself on point so I’m on the highest level of capacity to serve the people that matter the most.
- The family gets what is best first.
- If I’m on point with my wife and kids, and the family is thriving, that gives me a clarity to work in the workplace.
- Everything is connected.
- Relationships healthy
- Struggling everywhere, systems and processes made things better.
- Checklist Manifesto by Atul Gawande
- You need a system to help you be on point.
- Core Four - Body, Being, Balance, Business
- Sweat and Green Smoothie
- Prayer/meditation and journal
- Note to wife and children and one act of service
