If you've recently hired (or promoted) a new director and are feeling like they need some help with their leadership skills, this episode is for you. We are joined by leadership expert, Summer Picha. Summer has over 18 years in the industry and is the creator of the Conscious Classroom Certification Model. Summer knows specifically what it takes to lead a mission-driven team and create a culture where schools and families feel like they belong. Summer points out a major flaw in the way most of us hire our directors and assistant directors that perpetuates the leadership issues so many centers face. To help break this cycle, we discuss several ways to improve the leadership in your child care program, how you can both support your director(s) in their roles and get out of their way, and the best thing you can do to train your admin team. Summer also shares a personal story about how she learned to find her own voice in her leadership and coaching style, rather than just imitating others. Summer shares two powerful resources to help you on your leadership journey: The Leadership Edge Quiz: Designed specifically for Early Childhood Educators to help them identify their strengths, find out their leadership style, and learn about the other leadership styles to help early education leaders to be confident in their roles.

I have the true privilege of helping professionals from hundreds of companies develop their ability to lead people and deliver projects. A common question I hear from leaders as they progress higher in their organizations has to do with their boss. In effect, they're asking, "How do I manage the person who is supposed to be managing me?" A clear lesson as you grow in responsibility is that managing is not just something you do with your subordinates--what a terrible word that is! Rather, to be effective you also have to lead and serve peers, stakeholders, and yes, bosses. Managing up is an important part of your ability to successfully deliver. But how do you go about doing that? For this episode I'm bringing back Bruce Tulgan who was a guest on our show last year (click here to listen to that episode). Bruce recently published Its Okay to Manage Your Boss: The Step-by-Step Program for Making the Best of Your Most Important Relationship at Work. I had the opportunity to speak with Bruce recently and look forward to sharing that interview in this episode. Learn more about Bruce and his organization at http://www.rainmakerthinking.com. I also recommend you get a copy of his book Its Okay to Manage Your Boss: The Step-by-Step Program for Making the Best of Your Most Important Relationship at Work. While you're at it, check out another one of Bruce's books It's Okay to Be the Boss: The Step-by-Step Guide to Becoming the Manager Your Employees Need. You'll find both helpful in the development of your management skills. In recent episodes I've been telling you about our growing list of Premium Subscribers. I want to invite you to join!
