Description

What does it really take to lead well in today's uncertain and fast-moving world?

In this episode of the PiXL Leadership Bookclub podcast, Rachel Johnson is joined by Lynsey Holzer and Kerim Ramadan to explore Ruthlessly Caring by Amy Walters Cohen.

They reflect on how school leadership is evolving and what it means to embrace paradoxes like being ambitious while staying grounded, or confident while remaining humble.

Drawing from the book's five leadership mindsets, this conversation offers practical insights for anyone leading in schools today, whether that is for one school, or many as part of your Trust!

Tune in today for the practical top tips that you can use to master thinking through paradoxes, not simply being paralysed by them when they come up.
