Principled
Welcome to Season Three of Principled, from MSB.
This season offers international school leaders a provocation to think differently about the future of education and their role in the creation of this future. It is an opportunity to continue thinking seriously and deeply about the legacy that school leaders leave behind through concerted action in the present.
To frame this provocation, we will be bringing together the latest research and thinking about futures-focused leadership, alongside insights from interviews with experts from across the international school sector and beyond.
Each episode we will explore a different domain, and in the following episode we will put the thinking through its paces with a panel of school leaders - some highly experienced, some new in role and some emerging.
Episodes will go live every other Monday.

S2Ep11: Nurturing The Cultural Richness Of International Schools with Shane Leaning
Welcome to the Principled podcast.
In this episode, Matt Hall and Naomi Ward of Making Stuff Better are joined by Shane Leaning, international school leadership and organisational development coach, and creator and host of the Global Ed Leaders podcast for leaders shaping education on a global scale.
They discuss cultural differences in communication, decision making, authority and criticism; lessons from a valuable and little-known resource; and the power of a coaching-style approach to leadership.
How can we foster organisational health in international schools where cultural differences might result in vastly different approaches to crucial elements such as decision making or authority? What measures can we implement to overcome barriers presented by these differences? And how powerful can adaptability and curiosity really be?
