Control+Shift+Lead is a podcast about leadership in education—for every educator, not just those with a title. Whether you’re leading a classroom, a school, or an entire district, leadership today means navigating constant change with clarity, intention, and agency. This show explores what it really takes to lead in modern education—from instructional leadership and school culture to decision-making, innovation, and personal growth. Each episode features practical insights, real stories, and honest conversations with educators who are leading from where they are. Because in today’s schools, leadership isn’t a position—it’s a mindset. If you’re a teacher, instructional coach, administrator, or aspiring leader looking to grow your impact, Control+Shift+Lead is your space. Hosted by Jim Wichman and Adam Busch, this show dives into the real-world complexities of K-12 education. From the exhaustion of the first week of school to the high-level shifts required to integrate AI into your practice, Jim and Adam offer practical blueprints for resetting expectations, building culture, and staying "mentally present" for your students and colleagues. What We Explore: Taking Control: How to stop reacting to the chaos and start defining the future of your learning environment. Driving the Shift: Shifting mindsets from traditional management to true mentorship, community building, and personal agency. Leading with Presence: Strategies for boosting morale, supporting your peers, and recognizing the "whole child" in every student. Whether you are a seasoned principal, an aspiring administrator, or a teacher leading from the front lines, Control+Shift+Lead provides the weekly boost you need to finish the year strong and lead your community forward.

  • Leadership Isn't Built on One Big Moment Lessons From Season 2
    2026/08/01
    Great leadership is rarely built in one massive moment. It is built through the choices leaders make every day—the conversations they have, the environments they create, the questions they ask, and the way they show up for the people around them.

    In this Season 2 finale of Control Shift Lead, Jim Wichman and Adam Busch look back at some of their favorite conversations from the season and reflect on the common threads that emerged along the way.

    From being fully present and creating intentional environments to challenging long-held assumptions about grading, culture, and professional growth, these conversations offer a reminder that meaningful leadership often happens in the small moments. Jim and Adam also explore the difference between evaluating for compliance and coaching for growth—and why strong leaders remain willing to question the systems and practices they have inherited.

    𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗬𝗼𝘂’𝗹𝗹 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗿:
    • Why leadership is built through the accumulation of everyday moments
    • What it means to “be where your feet are” as a leader
    • How hospitality, language, and shared experiences shape school culture
    • Why leaders need to continually question assumptions about teaching and learning
    • The difference between a “gotcha” approach and coaching for genuine growth
    • Why none of us has to do this work alone

    𝗙𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗚𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝘀:
    Bob Long — Retired Special Education Teacher & Coach, Muscatine Schools
    Dr. Chad Lang — Educational Leader & Author
    Jim Dutro — Principal, Lake Ridge Middle School
    Dr. Rachel Edoho-Eket — School Principal & Author
    Dr. Jill Urich & Dr. Jeremy Braden — Educational Leaders
    Dr. Matt Townsley — Assistant Professor & Educational Author
    Kanika Dorsey — School Principal

    As Season 2 comes to a close, this episode brings together some of the ideas that have challenged our thinking, shaped our conversations, and reminded us why leadership is less about finding the perfect answer and more about being intentional in the moments we are given.

  • The Anatomy of School Trust with Dr. Rachel Edoho-Eket
    2026/07/01
    Is your school culture defined by your mission statement or your daily actions?

    In this conversation, Jim, Adam, and Dr. Rachel Edoho-Eket explore the complex and essential role of trust in school improvement. Together we examine how small, consistent acts build a dependable leadership presence and why unpredictable behavior quickly destabilizes a building environment.We sit down with Dr. Rachel Edoho-Eket to unpack the difficult realities of breaking and regaining trust with staff and families. We discuss the power of professional apologies, why leaders must respect individual timelines when mending professional relationships, and how to practicalize visibility without turning it into a compliance checklist.Finally, we explore actionable strategies for the upcoming school year, including normalizing two-way feedback and shifting your leadership lens through intentional gratitude walks that elevate building morale.

    What You’ll Hear:
    How small, consistent daily acts tip the culture scale toward trust
    The process of reclaiming trust after a leadership error and why ego gets in the way.
    Why giving staff space and honoring their timeline is critical for long-term reconciliation.
    Three practical leadership shifts: active physical presence, two-way feedback, and gratitude walks.

  • The Mosaic Framework: A Principal’s Guide to Real Staff Buy-In
    2026/06/01
    Why do clear school initiatives stall six months after everyone nods along in your staff meeting? It’s because positional authority can only mandate basic compliance—it can never cultivate true commitment. If your plan is "clearly communicated" but your educators aren't moving, you don't have a communication problem; you have an influence challenge.In this special one-year anniversary episode of Control+Shift+Lead, host Jim Wichman (Inspired Edification) and co-host Dr. Ben Johnson (Assistant Superintendent) celebrate one year of changemaking conversations by diving deep into the mechanics of Intentional Influence and Cultural Mapping.They are joined by special guest Bobby Dodd (Director of Business Services, former High School Principal, and National Digital Principal of the Year) to dismantle the ultimate administrative excuse: "I just don't have time." Bobby shares the exact blueprints he used to scale radical data transparency, electronic instructional walkthroughs, and purposeful relationship-building across a massive high school campus of 3,700 students and 200 staff members.Tune in to discover how to look at your school building not as a rigid hierarchy, but as a human mosaic. Learn how tracing the invisible professional networks of veteran teachers, coaches, and arts directors can expose hidden leverage points that spark organic, long-term school improvement.Key Takeaways From This Episode:Influence vs. Communication: An initiative isn't successful just because it was clearly delivered; it’s only clear if the recipients perceive and adopt it that way. Real movement happens through intentional background influence.The Reality of Cultural Mapping: Learn how to visualize your school as a mosaic of micro-relationships, tracing who holds natural influence and using that map to drive organic buy-in.The Hallway Trap: Why simple pleasantries like "Hey, how's it going?" are purely transactional and how they leave up to 80% of staff feeling unvalued on school climate surveys.The 15-Minute Rule: How replacing passive check-ins with structured, 15-minute purposeful alignment meetings transforms school culture without overwhelming your calendar.Radical Transparency: How sharing walkthrough data and morale measures openly builds bulletproof institutional trust.“Influence becomes much more intentional when we stop assuming and start understanding.” — Jim WichmanAbout the Podcast: Control+Shift+Lead is a premier educational leadership podcast designed for school principals, district administrators, superintendents, instructional coaches, and education changemakers.
