The Emotionally Intelligent Head of School

There is strong agreement that Heads of Independent Schools and other leaders are facing more pressure than ever to navigate complex environments, partner with employees and clients who are increasingly transactional, manage diverse teams, and achieve results while balancing their own well-being with the well-being of their school communities. Emotional intelligence has become a vital trait for effective leadership.
