Drive

In this episode, Rachel Johnson is joined by two school leaders; Jess Leonard of Walton Academy and Marcus Shepherd of Wells Academy, to discuss ‘Drive' by Daniel Pink. The premise of the book is that rather than being driven by external rewards, we are truly motivated by intrinsic rewards - to have autonomy, purpose, and mastery in our lives. Talking about the book’s tenets in the context of schools, this podcast will get you considering the role of motivation in your own context - be it with students or staff. How might you effectively harness the power of motivation? PiXL is a partnership of 3,000 schools and colleges spanning KS1-5, focusing on equipping leaders and teachers to bring a better future and brighter hope to young people.

Everything rests on leadership. Each fortnight on PiXL’s Leadership Bookclub, Rachel Johnson, PiXL CEO, will be joined by two school leaders to discuss one non-educational leadership book that can change the way we think, teach, and lead. Reflecting, they talk about the lessons they have learned about their own leadership, and the result is honest, candid conversation, with practical takeaways for all educators.
