E234 | Changing Lives Through Excellent Teaching with Hazel Pulley & Jonathan Smart

What if you had to radically transform your business, change the culture, improve the percentage of A-players, drive staff engagement, and roll out a purpose and core values, all without raising salaries or changing the team? Well, that’s what our guests this week have done in their organisation. And all whilst improving the education delivery and striving to change the lives of the children in their schools. This week on The Melting Pot, we learned from Hazel Pulley and Jonathan Smart, CEO and Deputy CEO at Excelsior MAT, a multi-academy trust, currently with six primary schools in innercity Birmingham in their portfolio. ExcelsiorMAT is one of the teams that we’ve worked with at Monkhouse & Company, and we’re deeply proud of their amazing transformation over the past few years. Hence why we wanted them to join us on the show to share with us the keys to their incredible success.  In this episode, we hear from Hazel and Jonathan about their journey applying the Scaling Up framework and how it radically transformed their organisation. They also dived into how they managed to change the business without raising salaries or changing the team. This episode is a true testament to great leadership, making the right decisions and building an amazing culture.  A fascinating and exciting episode, download and listen to learn more! On today’s podcast:  What is a Multi Academy TrustCan Scaling Up be applied in Education?Changing lives through teachingCultivating existing talentThe importance of happiness at work Follow Hazel and Jonathan: ExcelsiorMAT websiteJonathan Smart LinkedInHazel Pulley LinkedInExcelsiorMAT TwitterExcelsiorMaT LinkedIn Book Recommendations: Finding Flow by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi Trusted Leader by David HorsagerLincoln on leadership by Donald T.
