&lt;p class="has-drop-cap"&gt;&lt;br&gt;Recently, Jen Schwanke shared a &lt;a href="https://jen-newsletter-c4287d.beehiiv.com/p/wayward-solutions?utm_source=jen-newsletter-c4287d.beehiiv.com&amp;amp;utm_medium=newsletter&amp;amp;utm_campaign=wayward-solutions&amp;amp;_bhlid=c0d0196225454775777977b26fe8e6f9c369f8ad"&gt;newsletter&lt;/a&gt; about wayward solutions. She and I spent this week’s episode of Monday Matters discussing solutions. Specifically, we talk about how solving a problem can sometimes lead to even more problems down the road. In school leadership, we are constantly trying to find solutions to problems, but we have to remember to look at the big picture and consider the impact of our solutions before implementing them. Jen also shares an amusing story from her childhood to illustrate the points we are making in this episode. Listen in to hear the full conversation!&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
