Web screenshot.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>What do Yoda, Minerva McGonagall from the \u201cHarry Potter\u201d series and Dewey Finn from \u201cSchool of Rock\u201d have in common?<\/p>\n<p>First, they\u2019re all teachers, although Yoda was not much for classrooms and Dewey Finn barely had a license for driving, let alone teaching.<\/p>\n<p>Second and more important, they\u2019re all exceptional teachers in their way \u2013 dedicated mentors (Yoda), fierce protectors of their students (McGonagall) and masters of helping students find their true talents (Finn).<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, they showcase these traits in ways that students, readers and viewers alike can relate to. This is not Captain America-style heroism or superpower on display, in other words.<\/p>\n<p>This is everyday leadership \u2013 and teachers can show the rest of us the way.<\/p>\n<p>That was the theme of the recent talk by <a href=\"https:\/\/campus.und.edu\/directory\/shelbie.witte\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Shelbie Witte<\/strong><\/a>, dean of the <a href=\"https:\/\/education.und.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>UND College of Education &amp; Human Development<\/strong><\/a>, as part of the 18:83 Speaker Series. The series invites campus and community leaders to the Memorial Union\u2019s Social Stairs to outline their approach to leadership.<\/p>\n<p>Speakers time their addresses to about 18 minutes and 83 seconds \u2014 a figure that corresponds to the University\u2019s founding year.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Everyday Leadership Lessons From TEACHERS You Need Right Now!\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VB-fodoaXIo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I think about leadership, I think about CEOs, politicians, military officers, social activists and the like,\u201d Witte said. \u201cBut today, I want to share with you what I know best, and that is the quiet, consistent, courageous leadership of teachers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Every day, \u201cteachers model everyday leadership,\u201d Witte noted. Witte herself became dean, she said, \u201cbecause teachers believed in me, and they left the ladder down for me and others to find our way to the profession.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the same way, \u201ceveryone has a teacher memory,\u201d she said \u2013 a glowing ember of gratitude for a key teacher or set of teachers along the way. And to highlight the traits of everyday leadership that bring about this effect, Witte turned to teachers from pop culture, to help listeners understand in an instant exactly the traits that she\u2019s talking about.<\/p>\n<h2>\u2018I pledge allegiance &#8230; to the band!\u2019<\/h2>\n<p>Which is where Dewey Finn comes in. The \u201cSchool of Rock\u201d lead character \u201cwas not prepared to be a teacher,\u201d Witte said with a laugh. \u201cLet\u2019s just establish that right off the bat.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut what he was a master of is discovering what made the hearts beat of his students \u2013 what made them click; what was their bliss.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Everyday leadership, she said, \u201crequires that we are able to leave something the way it used to be done, if the learners are disengaged or disinterested. We have to try new things; Finn made sure that the students in his classroom enjoyed the journey.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd I think that\u2019s something that\u2019s often missing from everyday leadership: we forget about joy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the \u201cHarry Potter\u201d series, Professor McGonagall is famously stern, but is also much respected by the students for always keeping their best interests at heart.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe doesn\u2019t raise her voice,\u201d Witte said. \u201cShe\u2019s super calm under pressure.\u201d She leads with integrity, and \u201cprotects her students fiercely, and stands up for them even when it\u2019s hard.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is the type of everyday leadership we often overlook,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<h2>\u2018Do, or do not. There is no try.\u2019<\/h2>\n<p>As for Yoda, \u201chis mentorship style is timeless,\u201d Witte notes. \u201cHis many interactions with Jedi, especially Luke Skywalker, show that he gives them just enough guidance and just enough space to be in a thing we call \u2018dissonance,\u2019 where they\u2019re trying to find their way and grapple with learning.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>You see, \u201ceveryday leadership isn\u2019t always about giving orders,\u201d Witte said. \u201cIt\u2019s about investing in people and giving them just enough space to figure it out on their own. When Yoda says, \u2018The greatest teacher, failure is,\u2019 he is signaling one of everyday leadership\u2019s greatest challenges: Often we must allow space for failure and the chance to try again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Then there is Mr. Miyagi from \u201cThe Karate Kid,\u201d who \u201ctaught Daniel so much more than just karate,\u201d Witte noted; Coach Boone from \u201cRemember the Titans,\u201d who \u201cbuilt unity among his players, and what started out as mandatory cooperation very quickly \u2026 became collaboration\u201d; and even Ted Lasso from \u201cTed Lasso,\u201d who \u201cbrought skeptical people together in a way that at the end, they were not just rooting for wins but rooting for each other.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If you think back to these and other favorite teachers in your lives, you\u2019ll realize that you, too, learned a lot more from them than whatever formulas or quotations they were presenting on the chalkboard.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday I\u2019ve shared with you about integrity, professionalism, mentorship, support, advocacy, inclusion\u201d and more, Witte noted in conclusion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTeachers are the very best example of everyday leadership. We don\u2019t have to be world leaders to lead change in the world. \u2026 We need more teachers, but we absolutely need in the world more everyday leaders.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd as Yoda would say, \u2018Wait for permission, you must not; choose it, you must. Only when you believe, truly rise you will.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThank you very much!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In pop-culture and real-world classrooms alike, life lessons from teachers go far beyond algebra, Dean Shelbie Witte says\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":41393,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[18,1125],"class_list":["post-41392","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-arts-culture","tag-education","tag-learning"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>18:83 lecture: Everyday leadership from teachers - UND Today<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"In pop-culture and real-world classrooms alike, life lessons from teachers go far beyond algebra, Dean Shelbie Witte says\u00a0\u00a0\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.und.edu\/und-today\/2025\/04\/1883-lecture-everyday-leadership-from-teachers\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"18:83 lecture: Everyday leadership from teachers - UND Today\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"In pop-culture and real-world classrooms alike, life lessons from teachers go far beyond algebra, Dean Shelbie Witte says\u00a0\u00a0\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/blogs.und.edu\/und-today\/2025\/04\/1883-lecture-everyday-leadership-from-teachers\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"UND Today\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2025-04-24T23:36:56+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2025-04-25T01:00:41+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/blogs.und.edu\/und-today\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/04\/Shelbie-Witte-screenshot.png\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1024\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"683\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/png\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Tom Dennis\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Tom Dennis\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"5 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/blogs.und.edu\\\/und-today\\\/2025\\\/04\\\/1883-lecture-everyday-leadership-from-teachers\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/blogs.und.edu\\\/und-today\\\/2025\\\/04\\\/1883-lecture-everyday-leadership-from-teachers\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Tom Dennis\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/blogs.und.edu\\\/und-today\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/85171165d7a7ad88663c40d70bf3316e\"},\"headline\":\"18:83 lecture: Everyday leadership from teachers\",\"datePublished\":\"2025-04-24T23:36:56+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2025-04-25T01:00:41+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/blogs.und.edu\\\/und-today\\\/2025\\\/04\\\/1883-lecture-everyday-leadership-from-teachers\\\/\"},\"wordCount\":899,\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/blogs.und.edu\\\/und-today\\\/2025\\\/04\\\/1883-lecture-everyday-leadership-from-teachers\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/blogs.und.edu\\\/und-today\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/sites\\\/7\\\/2025\\\/04\\\/Shelbie-Witte-screenshot.png\",\"keywords\":[\"College of Education &amp;
