Thinking about Jobs & innovation...

With the news of Steve Jobs' death, I hear commentators discussing innovation and the role of innovators as leaders. I hear speculations about the future of Apple, and question about the future of Apple as an innovative company.

In education, also, we see that the culture of a school is a deeply influential aspect of the school that follows from the leader-- innovative leaders cultivate an innovative culture that can outlast the leader, but only if another innovator assumes the lead after one leaves.

Apple seems an interesting case study for educators... perhaps we should listen to these commentators and pay attention to what it means to be innovative and how innovators approach their work.
