Tight Loose Leadership and Leading on The Shoulders of Giants

What this episode covers

Great leaders are great learners. As Isaac Newton said, “If I see further than others, it’s because I stand on the shoulders of giants.” In the same way, if you lead better than others, it’s because you’ve learned from other great leaders. Leadership, especially in schools, can be a lonely journey—but it doesn’t have to be. Standing Tall is a podcast where we hope to bring support, advice, and inspiration from giants in education straight to your earbuds. In each episode, host Randy Lindquist will sit down with a leader he admires to explore the structures, strategies, and lessons that make their leadership exceptional. Together, we’ll uncover actionable insights that will leave you feeling informed, inspired, and connected. To kick things off, this special Episode 000 flips the script—Randy becomes the guest as Ben interviews him about his own leadership approach. You’ll get a sneak peek into what to expect from future episodes while diving into Randy’s insights on Tight Loose Leadership, a transformative concept that has helped him lead diverse teams with clarity and success.
