Schools
Experienced, creative, and dynamic school leaders are at a premium throughout the world
As schools compete academically, technologically, on the sports field and in raising funds, school Principals have had to develop a greater breadth of skills. Expertise in a particular subject area is no longer sufficient.
21st century school leaders must be visible, informed and adept at navigating the complexities of media, technology and increasing political scrutiny.
On top of this, school leaders must combine vision and passion with communications and advocacy skills in order to manage a diverse community of stakeholders.
Canada
With a reputation for producing a highly educated workforce, Canada has a world-class school system offering outstanding curricular & co-curricular programming.
However, there remain challenges for Canadian schools. With high rates of retirement expected over the next decade, there is increasing pressure on schools both to develop talent internally and to expand their recruiting efforts to reach outstanding leaders across the globe.
Odgers Berndtson advises schools on how best to meet their leadership needs. Our team of education specialists work with schools to identify and develop talent internally, while our international reach gives clients access to top leaders from across the world.
