About This Book

School leadership is messy, but coaching conversations offer an opportunity to step back from the demands of everyday work and focus on developing leadership capabilities.

Although every coaching conversation is personalized and every context is unique, many school leaders face similar issues. In Embracing MESSY Leadership, Alyssa Gallagher and Rosie Connor—directors of global educational leadership nonprofit BTS Spark—synthesize the experience gained from coaching more than 20, 000 school leaders around the world and highlight the universal challenges.

Here, the authors unpack the key traits and mindsets of the MESSY leadership model, which embraces the human side of school leadership and provides practical strategies and tools that strengthen leadership capabilities. Coaching conversations that encourage leaders to adopt these specific mindsets will make it easier for them to lead in a complex world:

• Meaning Making: Create a shared vision and engage others by collaborating more effectively.
• Emotional Connection: Build deeper, more trusting relationships to give feedback and hold difficult conversations.
• Sensing the Future: Think creatively and tackle entrenched school improvement problems through experimentation and innovation.
• Seizing Momentum: Be proactive, gain control of how you prioritize your time, and embrace new ways of working.
• Your Presence: Build confidence by identifying the barriers that hold you back and learning how to overcome them.

Intentional coaching conversations tap into the potential power of school leaders and develop them to their fullest. Let Embracing MESSY Leadership structure those conversations and create school leaders that matter.
