Building Trust to Enable Success for Boards and Leaders

The health of a school district is a leading indicator of the health of a community. That's what our guests in this episode of the Accelerate Your Performance podcast share. Today, Dr. Janet Pilcher invites Dale Shaver, Director of Waukesha County Department of Parks and Land Use, and Laura Catherman, Director of the Waukesha-Ozaukee-Washington Workforce Development Board, to discuss how to build trust between the leaderships within schools, such as superintendents and principals, and their school boards. It involves great intentionality. During the conversation, they discuss the playbook for success they implemented to help get all players on the same page and moving in the right direction. Listen as they share how they go about selecting strategic playing cards from their playbook and when they say it's time to run the play.

This episode addresses questions such as:

• How can leaders help get everyone on the same page and moving forward when there are strong and opposing opinions?
• How do you clearly identify your what, and how can that be aligned with other leaders and/or the school board?
• How can organizations use data to tell a compelling story?
