A recent article in Ed Leadership may serve as a good resource of leadership advice for new administrators. Among author Peggy Campbell-Rush’s topics are:
- Make Decisions from the Start
- Make Changes Slowly
- Learn Names! – from personal experience, this is crucial.
- Sweep the Naysayers Along
- Keep That Rant to Yourself
- Challenge People to Be Part of the Solution
- Say It, Mean It and Do It
- Take Care of You
- Fake It Until You Make It
Even if you are an experienced principal and you have “been there, done that” as an administrator, it always helps to read another person’s perspective on leadership roles and behavior.
