Are you trying to lead like a model instead of yourself? The most effective school leaders lead with authenticity, which is only possible through deep self-awareness. This episode dives into how understanding your unique leadership style is the key to unlocking your greatest potential. We'll share practical steps to help you identify your core values, synthesize 360-degree feedback, and deliberately lean into your signature strengths. Discover how aligning your actions with your convictions—like a leader whose core value is equity adopting a transformational style—builds trust, fosters a positive school culture, and ultimately improves decision-making. Stop wasting time trying to be who a textbook says you should be; embrace the leader you authentically are because it is your greatest asset. Key Takeaways:
- Identify your core values and non-negotiables as the foundation of your style.
- Actively solicit and internalize 360-degree feedback to understand your impact.
- Focus on refining your signature strengths rather than forcing a style that doesn't feel authentic.
