Power Surge⚡ Decisions in the Hallway: How Everyday Moments Shape School Leadership and Culture #188

Episode 188

Not every leadership decision happens in the boardroom. In this episode of The Empowered Educator Show, Dr. Mel unpacks how the smallest, everyday interactions—like greeting a staff member in the hallway or redirecting a student—often carry more weight than major initiatives.

These “hallway decisions” reveal your values, build credibility, and reinforce culture in ways that last far beyond the moment itself. Leadership is not just about the big moves—it’s about the way you show up consistently in the margins of your day.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

Why small moments are often the most remembered moments
How consistency in your responses builds trust and credibility
The hidden power of daily interactions in shaping school culture
A practical step you can take this week to lead more intentionally in the margins

Power Quote:
✨ “I will lead intentionally in the small moments, because leadership is lived, not just announced.”
