Steve Bollar, a.k.a. Stand Tall Steve, is an educational thought leader, former Superintendent of Schools, principal, author and a culture and motivation expert. At 6’7, everyone assumed he would become a basketball player, but instead he pursued a career as an art teacher and eventually as a motivational speaker.
In this episode of the She Finds Joy podcast, Steve and Kim discuss how we are told that in order to be a leader, you need to have certain attributes. Leaders are often expected to show little emotion, always be serious, not to have fun, and definitely never reveal their vulnerabilities. But, in reality, when you take the magic of who you are and integrate that with real leadership skills, you are able to maximize results and become a leader who is truly connected to your people.
