S2 EP07 - Strengths Based Leadership

In school and system leadership it is critically important to understand the leadership and learning profiles of our team and what strengths they bring to the table. For this episode of Leadership Talks, Michael Blackburn joins us from Limestone District School Board, to discuss how through a strengths-based leadership approach we can maximize the potential of our school teams and foster a culture of collaboration, trust and risk-taking. The podcast will highlight his personal leadership journey in understanding himself and how to support a team to understand each other and the gifts and strengths they bring to their work.

Michael currently has the role of Associate Superintendent of Curriculum and Program Services - ITS and Continuing Education. He is open to new connections and invites school leaders to reach out by emailing him at [email protected].
