About this listen
Are you ready to take the first step toward excellence?
What does it take to be the very best teacher - or the very best leader? What sets excellent educators apart from their peers? And how can you join their ranks?
In their work leading up to Start. Right. Now., Todd Whitaker, Jeff Zoul, and Jimmy Casas studied educators from across the nation and discovered four key behaviors of excellence:
Excellent leaders and teachers:
- "Know the Way": From their content to best practices, these educators know their stuff.
- "Show the Way": Casting a bright vision for the future, these educators see possibilities where others see problems.
- "Go the Way": Leading by example is a way of life for the very best.
- "Grow Each Day": A focus on personal and professional development helps these educators succeed.
Wherever you are on your journey as an educator, choose to become even greater still - our kids are worth it. Start. Right. Now.

To become more than "the boss" people follow only because they are required to, you have to master the ability to invest in people and inspire them. To grow further in your role, you must achieve results and build a team that produces. You need to help people to develop their skills to become leaders in their own right.

At every step, Thompson reminds listeners that coaching is not merely about what the coach says or does; it's about who he or she is.

Good content, Awful Narration
I enjoyed the content of this book, and have much respect for the authors, especially Whitaker and Casas. The problem was, the narrator had such weird cadence to his speaking that it was hard to focus on the content. He also mispronounced a multitude of words, and it sounded like his narration was the first time he had read the book. This would easily have gotten 4 or 5 stars if the narration was better.
