What happens when a former basketball coach takes his playbook to the superintendent's office?

In this episode, Nick Telford sits down with Kent Bechler, a former varsity basketball coach who now coaches and mentors superintendents across California as a Senior Partner at Leadership Associates. Kent explains why district leaders need coaches just like professional athletes do, and shares how to trade outdated "command and control" tactics for expert facilitation. In this episode you'll learn:

  • Why working with the school board isn't an obstacle, it is your job
  • How districts hit a seven-year cycle before needing to reinvent
  • Why modern leaders must shift from command and control to facilitation
  • How asking more questions turns a good solution into a better one
  • Why the higher you climb in district leadership, the less truth you hear
