Beyond the Checklist: Jill Molli and Leading School Culture with a Conscious Bullseye

🚀 New episode alert! 🎧 Tune into the latest episode of An Imperfect Leader: The Superintendents and Leadership Podcast featuring Jill Molli, Chief Growth Officer for Conscious Discipline. We had a truly insightful conversation about how conscious leadership can drive significant culture shifts in education!

Here are a few key takeaways from our discussion:

🎯 Transforming Culture: Shifting culture isn't about checklists and compliance. Jill suggests leaders "shift from your checklist in your brain and move to a bullseye." This means focusing on building internal skills at the core of the system.

🧘‍♀️ Leading with Self-Regulation: When faced with challenges or upset individuals, leaders must pause and regulate their own responses, rather than reacting impulsively. A powerful mantra shared was, "this experience is happening in front of me, not to me." This mindful approach is crucial for navigating difficult situations effectively.

🌱 Implementing Change Effectively: To avoid "initiative fatigue" and build genuine buy-in, Conscious Discipline advises districts to "first start with the willing." This approach allows success and curiosity to spread organically throughout the organization.

🤝 Building High-Performing Teams: Creating a strong leadership team requires valuing different perspectives and skill sets. Visionaries need colleagues who are systems thinkers and can focus on implementation details to turn big ideas into reality.
