Reflections of School Leaders

Building Buy-in Amongst Staff as a Leader in a New School

Episode 2

In this episode, Stephanie Dehghani and Aimee delve into the intricate challenges of leading change as a new leader in an established school environment. 

We discuss the struggle to build buy-in among staff while conveying the urgency for necessary changes in a workforce already stretched thin. At times, Stephanie felt overwhelmed by the influx of information and uncertain about the optimal moments to introduce new initiatives that support growth, all while considering the heavy workload teachers manage. 

Strong relationships have proven invaluable, creating a space where teachers can openly express their needs for time, space and the thoughtful integration of new research before changes are implemented. By leveraging her human leadership skills and staying attuned to the common challenges teachers face, Stephanie ensures that every step forward respects their workload and classroom realities.
