A brand new principal is assigned a building with a highly divided staff. Building climate can be a deterring factor for student and staff achievement and overall joy in the workplace. The culture matters. But how does the new principal come in and address the 'elephant' in the room of the divided staff without further alienating members of the team? This week on the pod, Karen and Christy tackle just that very scenario and talk through various ways the leader can approach the challenge. We discuss how to set expectations, connect with the past while revisioning the future and grow the camaraderie along the way. Join us for this episode on the Modern Principal Podcast.
