As a new school year approaches, school leaders are faced with endless decisions, data, and demands—but clinging to what’s familiar can quietly stall progress. In this Power Surge episode, we’re naming the real culprit: analysis paralysis.

Whether it’s outdated systems, overcomplicated routines, or fear of making the wrong move, the pressure to “get it right” can keep you stuck. But clarity is your superpower.

Tune in as we unpack how to:

  • Recognize habits that no longer serve your mission
  • Simplify decision-making to regain momentum
  • Let go of “what we’ve always done” in favor of purposeful leadership
  • Reframe this season as one of bold reassessment
