Conflict is an inevitable part of leadership, especially in education where we have a high level of emotional engagement among stakeholders. Wisdom becomes an even more critical asset for us to overcome the resulting tensions and dysfunctional behaviors. 

In our executive coaching resources for members of the School Growth Network, we include these guidelines to more wisely negotiate resolutions that support your mission and values.

August is a busy month for us with many schools requesting our "Building Faculty Engagement" workshop to start the year off right.  We created this unique program to equip teachers, staff, coaches--all employees of the school--with the attitude and mindset to be effective ambassadors for the school.

The result is powerful conversation among faculty and administrators that improves school culture. 

Growing enrollment is as much science as it is art, and those administrators who develop and hone the Discipline of Engagement have a distinct advantage.

They don't just wish for it--they work for it by building deeper relationships, leveraging the strengths of their people, and making adjustments in response to new opportunities to grow.
