"Culture and strategic improvement—those are inseparable." This is a guiding philosophy of Dr. Jamie Burkhart, Director of Women in Leadership at the Missouri Association of School Administrators (MASA).
Joining Dr. Janet Pilcher, Dr. Burkhart discusses her leadership journey and demonstrates why "going slow to go fast" is the only sustainable path to strategic improvement. She also details how MASA's Women in Leadership Initiative has grown from a group of five women to a statewide cohort focused on multiplying leadership, building capacity, and intentionally growing the next generation of female leaders across the state.
Listen to hear how focusing on people and purpose helps leaders tackle current challenges like recruitment, retention, and political pressures.
This episode addresses questions such as:
- What are the most pressing and significant trends facing educational leaders today, and how can professional organizations effectively support them?
- What is the critical relationship between organizational culture and strategic improvement?
- How does a leader build a foundation for lasting positive change?
