Effective leaders build relationships by establishing a bold vision and strategy for instructional excellence and equity—and then holding their teams accountable to that north star. At the same time, they prioritize and care for the well-being of their staff and students. Striking this balance is especially important when leading change—without it, confusion, anxiety, and frustration can undo student gains. Join other school and district leaders and gain new skills for building trusting relationships, adapting to the ups and downs of change management, and distributing leadership to teams who can support and champion a shared vision. Deepen your personal leadership skills and develop your adaptive and distributed leadership muscles too. Together, these leadership actions build the foundation that principals need to create schools in which everyone thrives.
