#129: The Clarity Cycle: Why That Same Problem Keeps Coming Back
About this episode
Casey Watts has spent over 20 years in education, and she’s got a sharp diagnosis: too many schools are stuck in quiet chaos—lots of strategies, zero clarity, and a fast track to burnout.
Enter the Clarity Cycle, a six-step game plan to cut through the fog: focus, cast vision, gain insight, provide feedback, celebrate systematically, and sustain. Simple? Yes. Easy? Not so much.
Watts drives home two must-dos: Leaders need habits of clarity, and celebrations aren’t optional—they’re fuel. If schools want real engagement, they need real alignment. Otherwise, they’re just spinning their wheels.
