Most organizations fail not because of strategy, but because of lack of clarity.

Patrick Lencioni's, The Advantage introduces a powerful framework that every organization needs — The Playbook.

It answers six critical questions:

1. Why do we exist? (Core Purpose)

2. How do we behave? (Core Values)

3. What do we do? (Simple Description)

4. How will we succeed? (Strategic Anchors)

5. What's most important right now? (Thematic Goal)

6. Who must do what? (Clear Roles)

But here's the problem...

Most schools answer these questions like every other school. They end up with dusty mission statements, generic values, and strategic plans that die in Google Drive.

Ruckus Makers Do School Different.

Instead of maintaining the status quo, we build playbooks that:

• Challenge outdated practices

• Put students first (not bureaucracy)

• Make learning unforgettable

• Turn critics into champions

• Create schools worth showing up for

The Challenge? Creating a playbook that actually works takes time. Time you don't have.

That's why I built something special:

Introducing The Ruckus Maker Playbook GPT

This custom AI tool guides you through creating a playbook that:

• Captures your unique vision

• Challenges traditional thinking

• Actually gets used (not filed away)

Watch how it works:

The best part? It asks the hard questions that most principals never consider.

Questions that separate Play-It-Safe-Principals from true Ruckus Makers.
