BONUS Series – Aspiring Leaders Part 1: Leadership Starts Before the Title
If you are considering a future leadership role, have recently joined a principal preparation program, or simply feel ready to make a greater impact on your campus, this series will help you take practical next steps. In this first episode, Joshua Stamper challenges aspiring leaders to look beyond the title and recognize the leadership experiences they may already have.
You will reflect on the committees, initiatives, relationships, and problems you have helped lead, while also identifying gaps in your preparation. Joshua shares why being busy is not the same as being strategic and introduces a free Leadership Inventory Reflection to help you build a clearer plan for your next steps.
Throughout this bonus series, you will explore how to build the right relationships, define your leadership identity, gain meaningful experiences, and create an action plan for your leadership journey.
