299 The Three Types of Educational Leadership Styles- Which One Are YOU?
In this conversation, Erica Saccoccio and Rob Macleod discuss the importance of leadership styles in education, focusing on the three types: expert, coach, and counselor. They explore how these styles impact school culture, relationships, and the overall success of educational institutions. Rob emphasizes the need for leaders to assess their own styles and align them with the context of their schools, while also considering the dynamics of their teams. The discussion highlights the significance of meaningful contributions and the potential for a fourth leadership type, the facilitator, who can flexibly navigate between the three existing styles. The conversation concludes with a call to action for educators to create environments that support growth and collaboration.
