Florida Responsive Leadership Institute

As leadership expert Tom Northrup has written, “All organizations are perfectly designed to get the results they are now getting. If we want different results, we must change the way we do things."

Join us this fall to discuss change management, organizational design, and leadership principles based on the best selling book, The NEW School Rules: 6 Vital Practices for Thriving and Responsive Schools. Through this immersive workshop leaders will learn about global trends in organizational design theory and the six rules for making their teams more effective and responsive.
