'Less of You' Leadership; An Interview with Jason Pascoe
From School Solutions Talk · 50:03
Show by Vicky Essebag and Tara Gretton
A school can have the right plans and still feel exhausted in practice. Productive change can best be measured by the quality of our conversations, what we listen for, and how much space we give other people to think. In our inspiring interview with Jason Pascoe, he explains why solution focus is simple but not easy, and how it helps leaders to stop defaulting to “fixing” and to start listening for strengths, resources, and the exceptions that already work. We explored the “more of you” versus “less of you” continuum in leadership conversations, including how staying too directive can quietly create learned helplessness across a team.Jason Pascoe is a leadership consultant, coach, former teacher and school leader with over 20 years’ experience across education and organisational development. Beginning his career in schools, Jason understands firsthand the complexity, pressure, and relational demands of working with people every day.
