Are You Managing Tasks Or Inspiring People?
Many managers in school support functions are promoted based on their technical expertise, because they’re great at getting things done. But once in a leadership position, they’re often expected to inspire, develop, and motivate teams without ever being shown how.
The truth is, managing and leading are not the same thing. While managing focuses on processes and systems, leading is about people, vision, and influence. And knowing when to switch between the two can be the difference between a team that survives… and one that thrives.
This free, practical webinar is designed for education professionals working in support and operational roles who want to move beyond task management and become confident, effective leaders, capable of driving real change, building trust, and getting the best from their teams.
