Education is a noble business, and teachers are the most valuable asset in any for-profit educational company. Many businesses wisely appoint former teachers as managers, but this often leads to challenges.Managing and teaching require vastly different skill sets. Assuming that a good teacher can easily transition into management is a common mistake. New managers can quickly become overwhelmed by the demands of administration, HR, interdepartmental coordination, tough conversations, and building a supportive culture. This struggle is not only traumatic for the manager but can also have a devastating impact on the teachers they oversee.This book is a practical guide, distilled from 17 years of experience working with top professionals across diverse organizations. It's designed to help founders build strong academic departments, academic leaders develop effective teams, and new managers confidently navigate their challenging roles. You'll learn not only how to be an excellent manager but also how to create an organization that prioritizes teachers, ensuring success for the company, the educators, and those they serve.
