Leadership Insights Report
As part of a Keyvan Consulting research initiative, we interviewed school leaders across the nation to uncover the biggest challenges they faced in their first year of leadership and the advice they have for those just starting.
The findings were clear. Many felt underprepared for the realities of the job, especially when it came to systems, staff dynamics, and decision-making under pressure. They also reported feeling isolated and overwhelmed by the day-to-day demands of leadership.
These findings underscore the urgent need for practical, real-world leadership development for first-time school leaders, which is exactly the kind of support we offer in our workshops, courses, and coaching programs!
