[Ous-lp-rp13] EDAD 6010, Answer to Question # 1

[Anthony Gillman]

*Principals get rewarded for effectively utilizing both aspects. Managing
adequately ensures that unwanted occurrences are minimized due to things
running smoothly. Stakeholders enjoy knowing that their day will not be
interrupted or changed due to poor managing.  These individuals appreciate
consistency in knowing what to expect. However, managing without quality
leadership is likely to have negative effects such as few or no building
goals being reached, understood, or even created.  Individual teachers and
departments need to have leadership in order to come together as a single
unit for the purpose of creating, understanding, implementing and reaching
reasonable goals.  Another unwanted effect due to a lack of leadership
might be busy days.  Good leading brings others together as a focused team
which will allow tasks to be managed by those who understand the overall
goals and missions of the team.  This will alleviate some of time spent by
the principal being a manager. Failing to be a good leader intuitively
looks bad.  Most stakeholders lack respect for a poor leader just because
they are in a leader’s position (principal) and are not fulfilling that
position.  Divisivity with colleagues and community as well as a lack of or
misunderstood purpose also are controlled by good leadership. Stakeholders
hold the principal accountable if these things aren’t appropriately dealt
with.*
