Recently, we hosted our annual What's Right In Education (WRIE) conference in Pensacola, Florida, where we heard from leaders in education across the country about the successes and struggles they have encountered on their continuous improvement journeys. In today's Accelerate Your Performance podcast episode, Dr. Janet Pilcher summarizes some of her favorite parts of WRIE and reflects on one of the key takeaways that surfaced throughout the two-day conference. To be an excellent leader and to be an excellent organization, you need to be intentional. Listen as Dr. Pilcher explains what this means.

This episode addresses questions, such as:

• What are the key traits that mark intentional leaders?
• How can you work to actively be more intentional as a leader and encourage intentionality throughout your organization?
• What does being intentional mean to you?
