Leading Legends: Female Superintendents Breaking Barriers with Purpose and Power



Grit or Blindness?
Grit is often praised as a leadership virtue—but persistence without reflection can quietly turn into blindness. Staying committed to a goal doesn’t mean clinging to a failing plan. Markets shift, strategies break, and new information emerges. Effective leaders know when to push through obstacles—and when to rethink the path. True resilience isn’t stubbornness; it’s the wisdom to adapt, revise, or walk away when the cost of continuing outweighs the value.
