The Eighth Key
The 8th Key and the Four Levels of Leadership Education
This audio presentation by Oliver DeMille was delivered as the Keynote Address for the 2007 Salt Lake City TJEd Forum.
After the 7 Keys of Great Teaching:
- Classics, not textbooks
- Mentors, not professors
- Inspire, not require
- Structure Time, not content
- Quality, not conformity
- Simplicity, not complexity
- You, not them
…comes the New 8th Key: Secure, not Stressed.
Oliver delivers these timely remarks before a live audience and illustrates the 4 Levels of Leadership Education:
- Genius Mentality
- Pioneer Mentality
- Warrior Mentality
- Secure Mentality
The way to become “Secure, not stressed” is first, to know that you’re doing the right thing, and second, to know that you’re doing the thing right.
