115: Cultures Where Failure is Embraced, Not Feared with Jeff Linden

What would be possible for your school if failure wasn’t feared—but welcomed as part of the process? In this episode, I’m sitting down with Jeff Linden, high school principal and host of the Educational Leadership with Principal JL podcast, to explore what it actually looks like to create a school culture where people aren’t afraid to take risks. Jeff shares how his leadership team collaborates around real needs, builds solution-oriented mindsets, and shifts fear into fuel for growth. With lessons from his time as an educator, coach, and military leader, Jeff reminds us that failure isn’t something to avoid—it’s something to learn through, together.Connect with Principal JL (Jeff Linden): https://dot.cards/principal_jl Educational Leadership with Principal JL Podcast Link: https://educationalleadershipwithprincipaljl.buzzsprout.com Important Links:Access the Podcast Gift Vault:  https://www.catchingupwithcasey.com/giftvault  Give teachers what they want WITHOUT spending more or micromanaging: ⁠https://www.catchingupwithcasey.com/clarityoverclutter⁠Need help getting your leaders trained in a purposeful way? ⁠https://www.catchingupwithcasey.com/identityReady to build the habits of a clarity-driven leader?
