Are you doing everything you were trained to do and still feeling stuck? The problem might not be you. It might be the playbook. In this episode, I'm naming the three forces that have converged to make school leadership harder than it's ever been: widening academic gaps that didn't go away when the headlines did, community instability that walks through your front door every morning with your kids, and financial resources that are shrinking just when you need them most. Then I'm going to show you why the traditional leadership playbook, even when you execute it beautifully, was never designed for a moment like this one. If you've ever wondered why working harder isn't moving the needle, this episode will help you see the real problem—and start thinking about your work differently #LikeaBuilder.
