S1 E2 - How to Steer Clear of Bright and Shiny Things

In this second episode of the Leading Learning Podcast, Jocelyn explores how school leaders can avoid the trap of chasing every new initiative and instead make strategic, high-impact decisions. Drawing on Jim Collins' Hedgehog Principle from Good to Great, she introduces the NICE framework a practical four-part test to help leaders evaluate new work before committing to it. Whether you're weighing a new program, platform, or approach, NICE gives you the discipline to say no to the bright and shiny so you can say yes to what genuinely moves the needle for students.
