🎯School leaders — we’re not always helping our best people thrive.
Jun 24, 2025
On Thursday, I shared how
we often pull people out of their zone of impact —
into roles that sound like a step up,
but eventually become a step away.
On Friday, I showed what happens
when we flip that logic:
you let people lead from strength, not status.
Their work becomes visible.
Others lean in.
Curiosity replaces resistance.
Because real clarity doesn’t come from a role description.
It comes from seeing what matters — and asking:
“Could this work for me?”
That’s when culture shifts.
Not because someone is promoted.
But because the learning becomes contagious.
đź“Ś Clarity is not a title.
It’s a culture.
And that shift starts with you.
As a school leader,
you don’t promote innovation by promoting innovative people into leadership.
You should build culture by making great practice observable and approachable —
not by talking about it,
but by creating the conditions for others to see it in action,
and try it for themselves —
a.k.a. job shadowing with purpose.
What becomes visible, becomes possible.
Eventually, what works, spreads.
Because systems organise —
but culture unites, inspires, and drives people forward.
Ready to build that kind of team?
Let’s talk.
