Authentically leading can be very challenging. That’s because leadership is about people. People will frequently surprise you. If you asked 10 people what they liked best about working for a particular company you could well receive 10 different answers. At least a few of those answers would be surprising. It’s hard to find a room full of people who will agree on anything, especially these days.

So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science! With so much material to "teach" these days, we often forget to incorporate key proven principles into our curricula — namely active recall, metacognition, spaced repetition, and interleaving practice.

When I do Leadership presentations and workshops I’ll frequently make the statement that people are naturally motivated. Not some people, ALL people are naturally motivated. That gets as much pushback as almost anything I say. “Leaders” in the room will respond with silly comments like “you’ve never met some of my people.” Or “I’ve got people you couldn’t motivate with dynamite.” .

Over the last four decades, Latino and African-American students were among the fastest-growing demographics in higher education. Since the mid-1970s, the Latino college student population has increased fivefold, with one out of every five college students being Latino by 2017. During the same 40-year period, Black enrollment doubled. But the disproportionate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has reversed much of that hard-fought progress.
