There is no shortage of leadership advice available to anyone who wants some. In my opinion, the best leadership lessons come from experience. As I have mentioned in the past, leadership is not telling others what they should do, but instead showing them how to do it. Building people up is at the heart of empathetic leadership.

When it comes to leadership, there is no one right way or quick fix. From a learning standpoint, this requires a focus on pedagogical leadership , something I learned over time when I was a principal, which required taking a critical lens to my practice if I was going to help my staff do the same.

When it is all said and done, the best experiences are ongoing and job-embedded so that the needed support, application into practice, feedback, and accountability for growth lead to actual changes to teaching, learning, and leadership. The other is ensuring what has been learned leads to improvements in teaching, learning, and leadership.

While the pandemic has undoubtedly played a monumental role in decreasing morale, other factors continuously play a role, such as leadership, mandates, lack of time, systems that are in place, a toxic culture, inadequate pay, or trying to maintain a work-life balance.

When it comes to leadership, the person making the final decision is often second-guessed if there is a lack of communication or things don’t go as planned. Let me be clear: No one has all the answers, no matter how many books they have written, keynotes delivered, or years of experience under their belt.
