202 Leadership, Micromanagement, Support-Challenge Matrix, new producer
A warm welcome to our new podcast producer, Mark Fox, who’s helping polish the sound as we level up The Teacher’s Lounge in 2025!
In this episode, we dive into the contrasts that define great leadership; what it is, and what it definitely isn’t...based on real insights from our educator community. We explore common leadership pitfalls like micromanagement, gossip culture, and detachment, and flip them to uncover what truly builds trust, clarity, and impact. You'll also hear how GiANT’s 'Support-Challenge Matrix' offers a powerful lens for leading with both accountability and care.
