Using the story of the Wright Brothers (but not quite the story you are likely to have heard of before!) Rachel Johnson explores the difference between relationship and task conflict. Many of us are very conflict-averse, yet the inventor brothers found challenging each other's beliefs resulted in valuable improvements to the overall plane design. How can we encourage good relationships and healthy conflict in our own teams?

PiXL Pearls are short reflections on life and leadership, in schools. They are here to inspire, encourage, motivate, and challenge.

The PiXL network spans almost 3,000 schools across key stages 1-5. We collaborate, share best practice, and equip leaders throughout the educational system.

Series 2 and 3 are presented by Rachel Johnson, CEO of PiXL, and Series 1 was presented by Founder-Director Sir John Rowling.

They both draw on literature, life, and experience in leadership to explore different elements of what it is to be a good leader and how we can become even better leaders, both in and out of schools.
