Maybe more than ever
"When the Dean of Harvard’s School of Education gave a commencement speech last May, it went viral – far beyond the leafy campus of his Ivy League school. It’s been viewed online well over eight million times. He’s gotten thank-you letters from all over – pastors, students, teachers business execs and more.

On Inspiration
"As a business leader, you might have years of experience and the confidence of your organization behind you, so it may be tempting to think that your job is to always have the right answers. But great leaders have to inspire the same curiosity, creativity, and deeper thinking in their employees that great teachers inspire in their students – and that starts with asking the right questions. Any answer is only as good as the question asked." Harvard Business Review
