This article by Andy Szeto explores how school district leaders can successfully navigate the common challenges of organizational restructuring. The author argues that administrative shifts should be viewed as opportunities for growth rather than mere disruptions, provided that leaders maintain three specific types of readiness. To prepare, administrators must maintain professional readiness through updated credentials and portfolios, while fostering relational readiness by building authentic trust across departments. Additionally, adaptability readiness allows leaders to align their skills with evolving district priorities and focus on student-centered goals. By proactively refining these areas, staff members can ensure their long-term stability and demonstrate their continued value to the institution. Throughout the text, the emphasis remains on personal accountability and the importance of remaining flexible in a shifting educational landscape.
