About This Episode:

In this episode of the Liberation Lab podcast, Bobby discusses the importance of joy in leadership within the educational sphere. He emphasizes that joy is not merely a fleeting emotion but a discipline and a strategy that leaders must cultivate to create a positive school culture. Bobby contrasts transformational leadership with transactional leadership, highlighting the need for connection over compliance. He encourages leaders to redefine their wins, set boundaries, and focus on intentional leadership to foster joy among staff and students. Ultimately, joy is presented as a form of resistance against burnout and a means to lead with purpose and clarity.
