In this episode, we chat with Kathy McLean - Partner at Fish and Nankivell. Kathy is one of Australia's leading executive recruiters in education and in this interview she share's her wisdom from recruiting Principals for some of Australia's best Schools over the last 17 years. In a wide ranging discussion, we cover what Kathy looks at to discover the type of leader a school requires, how she determines which candidates might be good "fits" and how schools should consider candidates that might currently be a 6/10, but have the potential to be a 10/10 Vs candidates who will only ever be an 8/10.

As she says in the interview, the best way to connect with Kathy is by a phone call and you can find her number on the F&N website at https://www.fnow.com.au/kathy-mclean-1
