Habits of Highly Ineffective Principals

Highly Ineffective Principals create toxic environments. The environments are disorganized or hostile or frantic - or some combination of these or other negative traits.

This means that EVERYONE is effected. And you start losing productivity among your staff when people call in with gastro-intestinal problems,or sleep disruption, or increased illness.

People miss deadlines because they get conflicting information - or no information.

Your staff is afraid to make decisions - so they make none.

Highly Ineffective Principals

My blogging buddy Curmudgeon had a series a year or so ago about Highly Ineffective Principals.

I loved it when he wrote them.

I hate it when I live it.

I told him I had hijacked his idea and will be writing about it here. I am mustering my forces.
