In the latest episode of the Special Leadership Development Series, "Lessons from the Lightkeeper," a leader's character is front and center because as Rev. Billy Graham says, "...when character is lost, all is lost." drrobjackson.blogspot.com/p/lessons-from…

Many leaders have demonstrated courage every day in this year's educational environment. We just got it done. “With courage, you will dare to take risks, have the strength to be compassionate, and the wisdom to be humble. Courage is the foundation of integrity.”– Mark Twain.

Practice gives us the opportunity to achieve excellence. The more reps that we put in, the greater the chance to achieve success. There is nothing wrong with trying to achieve perfection. #shinethelight

Every day when the sun rises presents another opportunity to become a better leader, person, and friend. We have to take advantage of the opportunity! Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other. John F. Kennedy #shinethelight

Positive relationships start in the morning with a simple smile, a "good morning," and "let's make it a great day." This "small talk" breaks down the walls to foster meaningful, productive relationships, which will flourish through trust and respect in due time. #shinethelight

Character is the inner soul of a person that resonates without saying a word. #shinethelight

Responsibility is owning your leadership journey. Ed Leader #shinethelight

“The strength of the team is each individual member. The strength of each member is the team.”- Phil Jackson
