In this episode of Leadership Lenses, we sit down with Rabbi Dr. Maury Grebenau of the Jewish New Teacher Project to explore what new administrators truly need in their first years of leadership. Together, we look at why the transition from teacher to principal can feel overwhelming, from the fire hose of tasks to the sudden shift in relationships, expectations, and identity. We consider how coaching, trust building, and clear role definition can help leaders move from reactive survival mode to a place of clarity and confidence. When we recognize the emotional and psychological weight that comes with the role and create structures that support growth, we give new administrators the space to become thoughtful, grounded leaders who can guide their communities with purpose and presence.
