Don't Copy an Innovative Culture – grow your own!

In this series of videos, Stephen Holden discusses why it is imperative that school leaders don’t try to build an innovative culture by copying ideas and processes from other schools. The only way to ensure long-term success and true innovation is to grow your own from the ground up.
