2024 Leaders Day Talk | | Leadership & Strategic
Summary
As a leader, you are called on daily to make countless decisions, all of them seemingly freighted with ominous consequences, and none of them offering simple, obvious answers. In particular, the last several years have been a real meat-grinder for the leadership in Christian schools, as school leaders must make decisive choices in no win situations. This talk will consider some guiding principles for navigating these difficult moments with integrity and joy.
