Episode 230: Leading with Grace - Navigating Your Leadership Lifespan with Julia Bialeski
Manage episode 500774731 series 3299931
What if your approach to leadership could be defined by just six words: Be brave, and care about people?
Julia Bialeski has lived those words throughout her 20+ year career in public education, serving as a teacher, instructional specialist, assistant principal, elementary principal, and now Coordinator of Recruitment and Hiring for the Howard County Public School System in Maryland. She’s also the author of Leading with Grace: Cultivating Hope, Authenticity, and a Focus on People Throughout the Leadership Lifespan.
In this episode, Julia and I explore:
- Her framework for the leadership lifespan — what it is and why it matters for leaders at every stage.
- How to enter a new leadership role with purpose, clarity, and strong relationships.
- The essential connection between recruitment, hiring, and retention — and why listening is your best strategy.
- The systems and boundaries leaders need to protect wellbeing and model it for others.
- How to build long-term pipelines for talent in schools and districts.
Whether you’re a brand-new administrator or a seasoned leader starting a new chapter, Julia’s insights will help you navigate change with authenticity, focus, and grace.
