Lead Culture with Jenni Catron

In this conversation, Cory Nikkel and I dive into the critical role of organizational culture, especially within the context of leadership in education. We unpack the significance of cultivating a growth-oriented culture, the challenges of navigating change and turnover, and how servant leadership is foundational to creating environments where both leaders and teams can thrive. Cory brings such powerful insights from his experience, particularly in fostering a positive, transparent culture that encourages growth while facing the inevitable transitions that come with leadership.
We explore how essential it is for leaders to truly listen to their teams, to act on the feedback they receive, and to prioritize the well-being of their people in every decision. This conversation is a deep dive into the heart of what it takes to build and maintain a thriving organizational culture, even in the midst of the challenges that leadership brings. I’m excited for you to hear Cory’s perspective and our shared passion for leading well through culture!
