Combining leadership and teaching

Description

Leah Grimsley is a new Primary Deputy Head who is struggling to juggle teaching with management and keep doing both at the high standard she expects from herself. Gladeana is quick to suss that whilst Leah is highly motivated at the moment, doing too much and spreading herself too thinly will result in burn out and a feeling of demotivation in both roles. She tells Leah that in order to be a good role model to colleagues, she needs to lead by example and stay fresh. Together they devise techniques that Leah can use to keep a good work-life balance, including keeping two nights a week work-free and learning to accept when things are good enough.
