Mike Pardee: Paradoxes In Leadership Artwork

gcLi Leadership Podcast

The Gardner Carney Leadership Institute's, (gcLi) mission makes clear that there is an inextricable connection between leadership and citizenship. We are committed to the idea that leadership must be cultivated. The healthy, effective, and benevolent functioning of classrooms, sports teams, schools, local communities, and entire nations depends upon it. Leadership is an active struggle, an exercise of character and values, a willingness to be in dialogue with diverse viewpoints, an ability to take risks and to engage wholeheartedly and uncomfortably with groups. To do it well, one must be willing to be in a lifelong journey to become more self-aware. In short, the path to leadership and thus to citizenship consists of all the skills and behaviors that the gcLi has taught since its inaugural Leadership Lab 2005. In my view, never has such training been more relevant. gcLi's Mission: Educating Teachers to Teach Leadership to Students.

Mike Pardee: Paradoxes In Leadership

September 14, 2022 • Season 2 • Episode 222

Today's guest is no stranger to the Pedagogy of Leadership®. In fact, I call him our-in house Heifetz scholar and he's my go-to whenever I need a quick reminder to "Rock on" or some nuanced brainstorming on a tough topic. In fact, it was in a quick call about the work he does as our resident researcher that we decided to let on in our conversation about Paradoxes in leadership as they relate to The Pedagogy of Leadership® at the gcLi.

Mike Pardee is a master educator committed to innovative approaches and pedagogies, so it makes sense that he's found a new home at the Crefeld School in Philadelphia because Crefeld seeks to provide "an intentionally different college preparatory program to help students become their best selves with a mission to graduate self-aware, empathetic, lifelong learners who possess an appreciation for diverse perspectives, their role in society, and their ability to act as agents of change."

Crefeld and the Gardner Carney Leadership Institute are lucky beneficiaries of Mike's generous energy, talent, and wisdom.
