“You may leave today with five systems you can begin implementing immediately. But if your school’s problems are interconnected—communication, accountability, decision-making, and leadership overload—the solution may require examining how the entire operating structure fits together.”
What you’ll learn from this Webinar
Spend an hour or so with me, your host and president of Isser Pliner Advisory, Isser Pliner.
Here's what you'll learn:
How to run a 10-Minute Leadership Huddle to quickly identify what changed, what needs action, and who owns each issue.
How to clarify what staff should handle—and what should be escalated so routine problems don’t automatically land on the leader’s desk.
How to create one clear channel for urgent operational information so important updates don’t get lost across email, WhatsApp, texts, and hallway conversations.
How to establish clear ownership for opening-week problems so everyone knows who is responsible for the next step.
How to conduct a simple Ten-Day Review to determine what worked, what keeps going wrong, and what needs attention before the problems become established.
