The Catholic School Leaders Podcast
Host: John Mihalyo

Guest: Dr. Trevor Timmerberg, Assistant Superintendent, Archdiocese of Louisville

Episode Overview

Being a principal can be a lonely job. In this episode, John and Dr. Trevor Timmerberg unpack how a strong, healthy leadership team helps you lead with clarity, build trust, and move your school forward—without carrying everything on your own.

What You’ll Learn

• Mission-driven vs. maintenance-driven leadership teams
• How to choose the right people (not just the right positions)
• The right team size and meeting length
• How to prevent “meetings after meetings”
• Simple agenda structures that drive action and accountability
• Empowering others to lead (so it’s not all on you)

Key Takeaway

A great leadership team strengthens culture, improves decisions, and keeps your school focused on mission—not just managing the daily fires.
