Hiring season

It's that time of year again in schools.

Hiring season

But this year, it's been more of a challenge than ever before.

Open positions are popping up left and right.

And they're staying open for much longer than usual.

So how can you ensure you have the best person for the job?

One solution is to focus on growing leaders from within.

Instead of always looking to hire from the outside, why not invest in the development of your existing team?

Providing career development opportunities not only benefits your employees but also boosts the overall success of your organization.

At the heart of this approach is the need for ongoing conversations with employees about their career aspirations and how the organization can support their growth.

A recent article from MIT Sloan Management Review has some great insights into ways to do just that.

Great leaders are invested in the development of others.

By focusing on growing your leaders internally, you'll create a culture of continuous learning and growth - and ultimately, set your school up for success.
