PBL Leadership - The Slight Edge | E124

Season #6 Episode #124

 Do you ever wonder how high achievers reach such a high level? Contrary to popular thought, they did not just suddenly rise to the top. It was all of the little things they did every day, compounding over years, that brought them up to where they are today. The Slight Edge by Jeff Olson captures this idea perfectly. What is the Slight Edge? In his book, Jeff Olson says “They are not big sweeping things that take huge effort. They are not heroic or dramatic. Mostly, they are just little things you do every day and nobody else will notice.”

In this episode of the PBL Simplified Podcast, Ryan answers the Need to Know “How do I get my teachers to do a book study?” It's a trick question, you don’t! Your staff does not have time to do a book study. But can you get excerpts of really great books and bring them to your staff? Absolutely! For our main episode, Ryan takes a deep dive into The Slight Edge by Jeff Olson. This book is all about making slight improvements that compound over time adding up to major achievements. How does this help us in education and Project Based Learning? Ryan shares three ideas from The Slight Edge you can implement today. Get your copy in the links below.
