Compassionate Leadership Seminar: Building Skills to Lead in a Disillusioned Era for Heads

School leaders are ready to lead their teams forward with bold ideas—but many find their teams exhausted by the pandemic recovery, addressing the needs of demanding parents, and navigating frequent flashpoints and divisiveness in many school communities. At the same time, leaders are experiencing compassion fatigue. They are burned out from dealing with other people’s burnout. How can you reinvigorate your leadership and re-engage your teams to move forward in this era? The answer is more practical than many leaders might assume. Compassionate Leadership is a concrete set of skills, behaviors, and actions that any leader can learn.

In EAB’s Compassionate Leadership Seminar, we will teach:

• Productive listening for even the most fraught conversations
• How to manage a constant barrage of complaints and complainers
• How to use constant dissent on campus to your advantage
• How to solicit consistent, productive input and act on it
