Love’em & Lead’em: Elevating School Culture to Grow

A healthy, highly engaged school culture is perhaps the most powerful strategic advantage for education leaders–and is a source of greater joy in this work. But culture is easier to feel than to measure. The values and beliefs that are expressed as important may not be reflected in what faculty and families actually experience. Culture is less about making people happy and more about progressively building a team of talented, energized, and engaged educators who are united in purpose and behavior and then effectively solving hard problems together.

How do we develop the leadership habits that most contribute to an authentic and sustainable culture? In this workshop, we will explore the 12 Disciplines of Excellent School Leadership to clarify the perspectives and practices that reliably enable us to love and lead educators more effectively and cultivate a healthy, vibrant organization.
