🎙️ Listen in as we talk to Anoka-Hennepin School District Superintendent Cory McIntyre about implementing structural organizational change. He emphasizes the importance of communication, authenticity, and empathy when leading through a period of change. He also discusses the logistics including planning and making difficult decisions. The district underwent significant budget reductions resulting in the loss of over 300 positions including senior leadership. Superintendent McIntyre shares his experience while offering advice for school leaders facing similar challenges. As a leader, he focused on transparency, assuming positive intent, and delivering feedback directly to help guide the process.
