Should We Teach Our Students to Pursue Leadership Positions?
I founded Growing Leaders in 2003. From the beginning, our mission has been to partner with schools and organizations to help them develop emerging leaders. Today, I have a confession to make that might sound surprising. For most students, leadership should not be a pursuit. I don’t believe we should send the message that everyone should chase a position of power
How to Handle Arguments with Kids About Phones
Millions of parents have walked into landmines, as they disagree with their child on any number of mobile phone mishaps, social etiquette or social media addictions. Emotional debates occur, which can divide parents and kids and lead to a breakdown in communication. Parents often say things like: "You’re always on your phone when we’re together." "You don’t look at me when
The Slow Drift from Our School’s Original Purpose
I remember visiting the beach when I lived in San Diego. I was a teenager when I walked out of the water onto the shoreline, leaving my inflatable raft in the ocean. I didn’t fear losing it; I knew exactly where I left it. What I hadn’t counted on was the ocean’s tide that constantly moved the water. After just

What Do Kids Picture When You Ask Them to Draw a Leader?
A few weeks ago, Fast Company magazine published a piece where they asked young children to draw a picture of a “leader.” They did not specify what that meant; the kids could come up with whatever person or characteristics they imagined that leaders embody, and then draw it with a crayon or marker. You can probably guess that kids had definite
The Only Way to Take the High Road
Something happened last month that caught my attention, but it went unnoticed by most sports fans in America. Dwayne Casey had a breakout year as the head coach for the Toronto Raptors. The season was a record-breaking season, where he won more games for the Raptors than any other coach in their history; he achieved the best record in the conference
The Role of Social Emotional Learning in Overcoming Anxiety
Some who read this post know my story. Both of my kids are now fully-functioning adults, but each has had their wrestling match with anxiety and depression while they were in school. It impacted our entire family. Bethany was a fun-loving teen whose favorite pastime was laughter and whose favorite word was “chill.” At 18, however, we saw her spiral into
When You’re Angry With Students: Six Steps to Take
Two years ago, I was asked to speak at a high school, and arrived a day early for some meetings in town. While my colleagues got some work done, I chose to take an hour to visit the school, incognito, and observe a typical day on campus. It was enlightening. Most of what I saw was predictable—students and teachers going through routines,
What Parents and Students Should Look for in Colleges and Majors
Most of the high school seniors that I talk to tell me they aren’t sure what they want to do when they graduate. Some will declare a major course of study for college but even they will concede, “I’ll have to see if it feels right once I start.” Others tell me they’re not sure any college offers what they’ll
The Message Our Kids Receive From the Miss America Pageant
Did you hear the recent news, just announced on June 5th? The Miss America pageant is making some changes to its competition. It’s something people have been talking about for decades and now—it’s finally happening. For the first time in almost a century, contestants are not required to strut across a runway in their bathing suits. While swimsuits will still be
Your Top Responsibility as a Leader
Abraham Lincoln once said, “Give me six hours to chop down a tree—and I will spend the first four sharpening my axe.” President Lincoln understood something that few leaders buy into and even fewer practice today. It’s the art of development. Even in his day, when change happened more slowly than it does today, Lincoln recognized the vital importance of improvement
Five Harmful Parenting Styles and How to Correct Them
Growing up, my son loved participating in a community theatre program in Atlanta. He is a true thespian. He loves the drama of a Broadway show. He loves the drama of television or movies. He loves the drama of musical theatre. Unfortunately, he’s seen a little too much drama from the adults in his life. If a parent in this
The 30-Year-Old Son Who Refused to Move Out: Three Lessons Learned
The story made the national news over the last few weeks. I think it did because so many of us found it preposterous. Did you catch the story? New York parents decided to sue their 30-year-old son who refused to move out of their house. Sound a little strange? Keep reading. Evidently, Michael Rotondo decided to remain in his parents’ home
