It requires courage to take a stand for righteousness. However, if a person stands on Biblical truth, integrity, and honesty, regardless of the circumstances, God always honors the person, even though the convenient route would have been less stressful at the time the incident occurred. Do what is right, even if it hurts. If the principal believes his school ranks among the best, he will live and work as though it is the best. His positive attitude and leadership will transfer the same feelings to the faculty, the students, and the parents.
Effective leadership consists of teamwork, and every player is made to feel important to the team.
The effective principal strives to mature each member on his team, just as the classroom teacher strives to help each student and work with the parents of each child. He is a people person, and if interpersonal relationships come hard for him, he keeps working until he develops effective people skills. He constantly looks for new ideas. When a person in a leadership position fails to lead or refuses or neglects to lead, his best option is to get out of the way and let someone else do the leading.
