Quiet Leadership with Orpheus Crutchfield

I was thrilled my friend Orpheus Crutchfield found time in his hectic travel schedule to talk about leadership. He is a connector of people, a deeply loyal friend, a persistent pursuer of doing good in the world, and in great demand as he travels the world helping independent schools work towards equity and inclusion. 

 

In this episode, Orpheus explores how a childhood experience helped him discover the power – and value – of his quiet leadership. Listen to Orpheus describe his first teaching job at a prestigious all boys school in San Francisco and how, among other things, the friendships he developed there allowed him to continue showing up despite being the first Black man to teach in the school’s history. We discuss why Orpheus has spent 25 years since focused on diversifying independent schools and how empowering others to tap into their own leadership enables him to stay in the dance.
