OM DENNE EPISODE
What does leadership look like when you don’t have the title, the authority, or the final say? In this episode, we explore the power of leading from the middle—how educators can influence change, build trust, and make a meaningful impact even when they aren’t the person in charge.
Leadership isn’t always about having a position. Sometimes, the most impactful leaders are the ones who listen, build relationships, speak up, and help others move forward. This conversation explores practical ways educators can lead from wherever they are while supporting their colleagues, students, and school communities.
Quotables:- "Leadership isn’t about just something you learn, its about the practice."
- "Authority comes from a position. Influence comes from trust."
- "Leadership isn’t about proving you’re right. Leadership is about helping the group move forward."
