a Selecting Your Next Leader in Education by Heath Morrison | Apr 14, 2022 | Blog, Heath Morrison, Leadership
A skill that effective leaders take pride in possessing is the ability to identify other great leaders and recruit them to their organization. While the processes – and requirements – for recruiting, identifying and selecting individuals to serve in leadership roles may vary depending on the organization and employment sector, leaders in education should consider a process that involves a wide-range of stakeholders and promotes competition between both internal and external candidates. When looking to fill a high-level leadership opening in a school district, Superintendents should consider the following important steps for a strong hiring process: 1. Post the position on your website and on local, state and national online job boards. Make sure to follow requirements relating to the length of time it must be publicly posted online. This is a simple, yet important step that is often overlooked and even undervalued. Never assume that the best candidates are trolling your website waiting for openings to appear.
