Reflections of School Leaders

Voicing Concerns and Challenging Senior Leadership

Episode 3

In this episode, Hannah Cunningham and Aimee explore the challenge school leaders face when questioning and challenging those in higher authority. 

Addressing unethical behaviour or inaccuracies has often left Hannah feeling frustrated and powerless, driven by a belief that those in positions of responsibility should uphold a strict code of ethics. The fear of jeopardising job security or straining relationships only adds to the stress, impacting mental wellbeing.

Seeking advice from a trusted, more experienced colleague has been instrumental in helping Hannah find effective strategies. Though confrontation isn't within her comfort zone, she has become adept at presenting irrefutable evidence objectively. Reflecting on these experiences has enabled her to develop strategies for similar situations in the future. She has dubbed this her 'Good Girl Mindset,' and by recognizing when it takes over, she has been able to manage it. Join us as Hannah shares these insights and her experiences navigating the complexities of leadership and ethics.
