Most Christian school leaders are too busy to do the small things that actually transform a school. This episode gives you 10 immediate, practical moves that make you stronger as a leader - starting today. Mark Zockoll and Matt George continue their three-part action series with a no-theory, no-fluff checklist built for principals, heads of school, and administrators who want to lead with more clarity, humility, and presence. These are not big-budget initiatives or long-range strategic plans. They are tiny, repeatable actions you can do between classes, at lunch, and before the day gets away from you.You’ll discover why kneeling in prayer after lunch, sitting in the hallway near the lockers, and working alongside custodial staff can change the way you lead. Mark and Matt also unpack the power of asking teachers what your weakest leadership habit is, sitting on the floor with younger students during reading time, and reading one research article each week to stay sharp and informed.We also break down the quieter habits that shape culture from the inside out - throwing away what’s been cluttering your office for years, smiling at a family photo when the day gets heavy, and showing up for a team or club practice just to learn what life looks like from their side of the building.If you lead a Christian school, this episode is a reminder that stronger leadership is often built in ordinary moments, not boardroom moments. These habits create trust, visibility, and momentum across your school community - and they may challenge you more than any formal leadership training ever has.Essential listening for Christian school leaders who want practical next steps, real encouragement, and a stronger school culture without adding another big initiative to their plate.Follow UsYouTube: Christian Principals Podcast Instagram: @cprincipalspod Email: [email protected] Website: www.christianprincipalspodcast.com X: @CPrincipalsPod LinkedIn: Christian Principals PodcastExplore the Herzog Foundation's offerings for Christian schools at www.herzogfoundation.com.
