I didn’t know much about pedagogy and primary schools, but I saw that something had to be done. That took a great deal of courage and confidence in the beginning.

You have to deal with the crooked timber if you want to work with people. There’s a great deal of potential in that respect: in the tension, in the diversity, in the unexpected, in the conflict. Even in a leadership role, you have to be aware that you – yourself – are made of crooked timber too. That’s why leadership always starts with you as the leader. Anyone who believes that they aren’t made of crooked timber should think twice. Crooked trees are left to grow; straight ones are made into boards.\u003C/p>","28.
