Aspire: The Leadership Development Podcast

Aspiring leaders asked: How do you lead with emotional intelligence (EQ) instead of ego, and navigate school politics without getting burned? In this bonus Aspire Mailbag with Jeff Gargas (COO, Teach Better), Joshua Stamper dives into self-awareness, empathy, humility, and building feedback loops to ditch ego-driven decisions for people-first leadership.​They also tackle the politics game: map power dynamics, build advisory circles, watch before acting, and strategically invite influencers to witness your wins—without losing your authenticity. Perfect for teachers eyeing admin roles or current leaders refining their approach. Plus, Jeff shares updates on the Teach Better Academy relaunch.Featuring Jeff Gargas and Joshua StamperFollow Jeff Gargas:Twitter:https://twitter.com/jeffgargasInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/_jeffgargas/Follow Joshua Stamper:Contact:https://joshstamper.com/contact/Twitter:www.twitter.com/Joshua__StamperInstagram:www.instagram.com/joshua__stamperLinkedin:www.linkedin.com/in/joshua-st
