In today’s fast-changing world, school leaders must go beyond traditional management strategies to become adaptive, visionary, and resilient. This session will explore how educational leaders can navigate uncertainty, technological shifts (including AI in education), teacher burnout, and evolving student needs while fostering an inclusive, future-ready learning culture. It will also build on how after EQ/EI ( Emotional Quotient) the shift is towards AQ (Adaptability Quotient) and how to acquire that.

Key takeaways:

 

1. The Adaptive Leadership Model – How to lead through uncertainty and change
    

2. AI, EdTech, and the Human Touch – What school leaders need to embrace (and avoid)
    

3. Teacher Retention & Well-being – Strategies for preventing burnout and creating a supportive culture
    

4. Transformational vs. Transactional Leadership – Rethinking how we inspire and manage teams
    

5. Building a Future-Ready School – Practical steps to foster innovation and continuous growth

This session is interactive and research-backed, incorporating real-world case studies, leadership frameworks, and actionable strategies that educators can implement immediately. At the end of the session participants will get materials and resources that are ready to use.
