Dr. Rob Jackson (L) and Dr. Tony Jackson (R) presenting together at High Point University

Courage cannot be overstated as an important character trait in leadership. In the midst of tough situations, a courageous leader stands at the forefront and speaks up for those who might not be able to speak up for themselves.

In this episode of EdLeader, Dr. Rob Jackson sits down with the 2020 State Superintendent of the Year Dr. Tony Jackson to discuss courageous leadership and the cost to students and staff when a lack of courage keeps a leader from speaking up. Dr. Tony Jackson shares the tremendous honor and responsibility taking on the Mantle of Leadership brings. The Drs. Jackson also highlights the importance of being careful stewards of opportunity and personalizing education to meet the needs of students. Later in the episode, Dr. Jackson is presented with an EdLeader Podcast Inbox scenario and discusses how he would handle the hypothetical situation.
