The inability to delegate is one of the biggest problems I see with managers at all levels.

I don't see myself as a great discoverer of artists, like Charles Saatchi.

What artists think about the world is often different from how we businessmen see it, and I find that an enriching experience.

Managers are responsible for setting workplace policies under which teachers can succeed. Managers are responsible for negotiating contracts that create the conditions under which teachers can succeed.

When I see a colour or hear a sound, I am aware of something, and not of nothing.

School boards are, for the most part,made up of political wannabes who see a board seat as a stepping stone for political office, or well-meaning parents who represent an ethnic group or geography, or have some other narrow interests. Few people on them understand what governance is about.
