TESOL past president Gabriela Kleckova takes a look at the new tasks, challenges, and relationships that come with any new leadership position and considers the role of mistakes in leadership and learning. She shares a recent change in her current position at her university, discussing how (despite her familiarity with the position and experience in leadership roles) the unexpected challenges took her by surprise.
