Have you ever walked into a PLC and instantly felt the tension in the air? In this episode of The Principal’s Handbook, Barb unpacks why some teacher teams just can’t seem to get along—and what you can do about it as a leader.

You’ll learn:

• How to identify hidden patterns and root causes behind team conflict (it’s not always personalities).
• Mindset and empathy shifts that help you approach tough teams with calm and authority.
• Simple structures and coaching strategies to transform chaos into collaboration.

Tune in to gain clarity, confidence, and a practical plan for your most challenging team dynamics.
