Center for Innovative Leadership @ Johns Hopkins’ Post

New blog post: I had an awesome conversation with my friend Joshua Stamper recording for both of our podcasts. We were talking about leadership vs management and how that can be a big challenge for new school leaders. Effective school leadership requires more than just managing day-to-day operations. It involves inspiring others, setting a vision, and fostering a culture of continuous improvement.

I recently had the opportunity to sit down with Denis Gianoutsos on the Leadership Is Changing Podcast to talk about one of my favorite topics: what it really means to be a leader when titles no longer define us. We explored how strong cultures and accountability are essential for thriving in unpredictable times and how leaders need to adapt continuously to stay relevant. One of the key takeaways from our discussion was how important it is for leaders to focus on building trust within their teams. Leadership today is about more than just holding a title—it's about fostering an environment where people feel accountable and able to take ownership. It’s this combination of trust and accountability that helps organizations navigate challenges and emerge stronger. If you're interested in leadership, culture, and the importance of staying flexible in the face of constant change, this episode might offer some food for thought.
