“When I opened my CODDY branch, I thought being a kind leader was the key. But reality turned out to be far more interesting,” says the head of one of CODDY’s most successful branches. What truly matters when managing an educational center?

Real-life story: “Everyone said that kids wouldn’t want to study programming in the summer. We took a chance and launched a new course format. We not only succeeded but created the most popular summer program,” shares the manager of CODDY’s Stavropol branch.

This principle is especially critical in education.

• Don’t just say, “We’ll open a new class soon”—open it.
• Don’t promise, “We’ll enhance the curriculum”—enhance it.
• Don’t plan to “hire top-tier instructors”—hire them.

At CODDY, we believe that a leader exists for the team, not the other way around. This means ensuring your team has everything they need to succeed:

• Providing instructors with resources and support.
• Creating opportunities for every team member to grow.
• Encouraging and supporting team initiatives.

Example: “Every Monday, we hold team meetings. We discuss not just achievements but also challenges. The team values this openness,” explains a branch manager.

Education is constantly evolving. A successful leader stays ahead by:

• Keeping up with EdTech trends.
• Implementing innovative teaching methods.
• Learning alongside the team to inspire shared growth.

Leadership in the educational field means understanding and valuing each individual on the team.

• Recognize each instructor’s strengths.
• Understand the needs of administrators.
• Help every member grow professionally.

CODDY achieves this through structured systems for quality and growth, including:

• Clear standards for educational excellence.
• Comprehensive ongoing training for all staff.
• Mentorship programs and support during challenging times.

“Our team doesn’t jump from one idea to another,” explains an award-winning branch manager. “We have a clear development strategy, and everyone knows our direction.”

Branches with leaders who apply these principles see exceptional results:

• Low instructor turnover.
• High client satisfaction rates.
• Stable and consistent business growth.

Every CODDY franchisee benefits from a proven system designed to ensure success, including:

• A tested management system for your educational center.
• Support from experienced leaders.
• Tools to build and develop your team.
• Proven strategies for growing your business.

Being a great leader in the education sector means creating an environment where everyone—teachers, students, and parents—can realize their full potential. Imagine a place where educators feel inspired, kids are engaged, and parents are thrilled with the results.
