NEW: How They Hire with Jazmine Allen, M.Ed — A Masterclass in Turnaround Leadership If you’ve ever wondered what it really takes to lead a school through a true turnaround — with urgency, humanity, and uncompromising standards — you need to hear from Jazmine Allen, M.Ed, Turnaround School Leader at Jalen Rose Leadership Academy. A native of Detroit, Jazmine has returned home to lead JRLA to excellence. In my latest How They Hire episode, Jazmine breaks down her approach to hiring in a turnaround environment. She talks about: ✨ unapologetically raising the bar — and keeping it there ✨ turning over roles (even 2–3 times) when it’s what kids deserve ✨ recruiting and retaining top talent with authentic honesty ✨ insisting on a strong, performance-task based interview process ✨ keeping great people by doing “whatever it takes,” from personal phone calls to community partnerships One of my favorite moments? Jazmine on why she refuses to settle for her kids in Detroit: “If you can sleep at night keeping someone who shouldn’t be kept, good for you. I wouldn’t. Our children deserve better.” This is what transformational leadership sounds like. This is what it looks like to build a school where excellence isn’t a slogan — it’s a standard. 🎥 Watch my favorite clip from our conversation here - and check out the full episode on YouTube in the comments below. https://lnkd.in/g65DNfqS If you're a hiring manager, principal, or system leader — especially in a turnaround or transformational environment — you don’t want to miss this one. #HowTheyHire #Turnaround #EducationLeadership #TalentRecruitment #Detroit #HiringExcellence Hadley Kornacki Christina Legg Greenberg Serena Moy Amirah Raveneau-Bey Nora Maligmat Mara Cooper
