ASSOCIATION
STRATEGY
•U.S. education system is broken
•Education is important
•Work should be completed in a timely manner
•Success should be measurable and supported
by data
•Companies exist to add value
•You should have partnership with individuals
and organizations who share your philosophy
•Philanthropy is good
•External recognition is good
•Being humble is good
•Having children has a detrimental affect on
work product
•It is ok to prioritize family over work, even
when it’s hurting the timeliness and quality of
your work
•People from Missouri have a limited
vocabulary (are unsophisticated/uneducated)
•With good leadership, an organization will
succeed
•With bad leadership, organizations will fail
•Outcomes are a two way street (self and other)
•If you have balance, you will be successful and
happy
•If an organization is large and old, it is credible
•If need to touch, feel and see something to
understand it
•Organizations only as good as the people in
them

NICKI ALLEN:
“…if you are trying to explain KIPP to a friend or a
family member, …or another potential investor, even
better. Do you feel like that you've got the right tools and
materials…
KELLY GARRETT: Only a quick comment and then an answer. So a quick
comment, is did you say even better if it is an investor,
like better than my family?”
NICKI ALLEN:
Sure. But then don’t tell me you don’t have [MBA]
classmates that love a good PowerPoint.
KELLY GARRETT:
I met a couple, yeah, I met a couple, but I never caught
that bug myself…

KELLY
GARRETT:
Also, I also know I mean the people I know and I don't…I
am not as well connected to the younger KIPP generation. I
am more connected to Richard Bars, David Wick, Mike
Feinberg, Dave Levin, Joe Kolzinski, Susan Schiffler, I mean
some more veteran people…
NICKI ALLEN:
Yeah, now I hear you. It sounds like you've got some friends
in high places too.
KELLY
GARRETT:
I don't know high, I mean…
NICKI ALLEN:
You just hang with the founders…
KELLY
GARRETT:
I don't mean it as a name drop, I just…and let’s be clear; I
think Mike and Dave are total assholes personally.
