It's one thing to acknowledge outcomes that miss the mark; it's quite another to intentionally transform them into rich learning opportunities. Listen as Dr. Peter Stiepleman, leadership coach and retired superintendent , shares with Dr. Janet Pilcher the foundational principle of his podcast: the importance of reflective practice.

This commitment to reflection is central to his podcast, An Imperfect Leader, where Peter interviews leaders weekly about decisions they made and what they learned from them. He and Janet then close with a discussion on the evolving landscape of education, including the integration of AI and the enduring value of connection and empathy in leadership.

This episode addresses questions such as:

  • How do we prepare for the future of education? What challenges might be ahead, and how can we plan for them?
  • When decision-making, what does it mean to “engage those closest to the work,” and why is it necessary?
  • How can after-action reviews equip leaders to improve decision-making and create a culture of continuous learning?
