Joel M Abel

Joel Abel has been in the education industry since graduating university. He’s worked on three different continents, and worked at all levels of the academic hierarchy from teacher to business owner. Joel spent time working for major organizations such as Disney and Education First, where he learned how great organizations work. Working across international cultures and ways of doing business in several organizations, Joel was often troubled by two large and consistent problems: Many people managing teachers were not prepared for the job. Inadequate management created dysfunctional environments where teachers were not able to serve their students. These problems were not inevitable, and Joel had a clear vision on how they could be prevented. If these managers that he kept meeting again and again had a framework to do their jobs well there would be a chance to improve the circumstances for everyone. So he sat down and wrote one. As of 2024, Joel currently works as a consultant in the education industry in Beijing. He is completing his masters in innovation and entrepreneurship.
