Marnie Stockman and Nick Coniglio: How to Lead It Like Lasso
In this episode, I’m joined by Marnie Stockman and Nick Coniglio, authors of Lead It Like Lasso, to explore what school leaders can learn from Ted Lasso. We discuss leadership archetypes, building authentic school culture, and why leaders don’t need all the answers to be effective.
We also dig into developing reluctant leaders, surrounding yourself with the right team, and the difference between students being “finished” vs. truly “ready.”
Key Takeaways:
- Leadership comes in different styles—find your authentic approach
- Culture is defined by actions, not statements
- You don’t need all the answers—build trust through honesty
- Strong leaders develop others and invite challenge
- “Finished” doesn’t mean students are ready for the real world
A practical, real-world conversation connecting leadership, education, and culture.
