Leadership potential is not defined by a title, but by the ability to influence, support others, and drive growth. Participants will learn how to identify emerging leaders and intentionally develop their capacity through meaningful opportunities and mentorship. Grounded in transformational leadership, this session highlights how investing in people strengthens both student achievement and the quality of staff. Great leadership does not just happen.
