Wertschätzende Schulleitung

Appreciative leadership has proven to be a key factor in the development of good schools. Teachers and school leaders who lead with appreciation not only achieve better performance results but also foster greater engagement, joy in learning, and well-being. The author presents the Leadership Compass, a practical tool for successful leadership and school management. The compass is complemented by the Change Code, which enables schools to develop an educational guiding principle. Diagrams, analysis questions, and exemplary processes for designing educational days or collegial exchanges support the implementation.
