In this episode of An Imperfect Leader: Leadership in (After) Action, my guest is Dr. Quintin Shepherd of the Victoria Public Schools in Victoria, Texas. We talk about a number of lessons from his book, The Secret to Transformational Leadership, including the difference between #complicated and #complex. We talk about making decisions with those most impacted by the decision you’re going to make and Q (for the record, he encouraged me to call him Q) reflects on his decision to “cancel Halloween!” Q is engaging and fantastic! Give a listen!
