Send us a textThis episode dives deep into the real challenges and responsibilities of school leadership. From chaotic tornado drills to the emotional weight of imposter syndrome, we hit on what it really means to lead with clarity, communication, and care.🔥 Key Takeaways:Culture trickles down: When the culture’s bad for teachers, it's just as bad—if not worse—for students.Communication is leadership: A tornado drill gone wrong shows how a lack of prep creates chaos and undermines safety.Lead from the front: Don't ask staff to do things you wouldn't do. Be visible. Be present. Your presence reduces behavior issues and builds trust.Delegate with purpose: New leaders, don’t try to carry it all. Let others help—build capacity, not burnout.Comparison kills growth: Stay in your lane. Your leadership journey is yours—unique, valuable, and divinely designed.💡 Power Surge for Aspiring Leaders:"Don’t compare yourself to other leaders—find your own juju.
