Episode 210 – Schools That Give an F: Clarity, Culture, and Contribution with Rob McLeod

In this episode, Darrin is joined by international educator and podcast host Rob McLeod to explore a critical leadership conversation: school alignment. Drawing from his own career across three countries and multiple school systems, Rob shares how he rediscovered his passion by finding alignment between his personal values and the work his school was doing.

Together, they discuss:

• The three distinct types of schools: Expert, Coach, and Counselor
• How to identify your school’s default leadership style
• Why many schools unintentionally pull in different directions
• How leaders can use a values-based framework to bring their school into alignment
• The importance of understanding staff priorities: Responsibility, Achievement, or Meaning

Rob’s upcoming book, Schools That Give an F, offers practical tools for school leaders to create environments where every educator contributes meaningfully.
