I’m wrapping up the theme of human resources this month with a humdinger for you guys; dealing with conflicts on your staff when staff come to you with a problem, when you hear about it through the grapevine, and when their problem is with you, their leader.
Dealing with conflict impartially and fairly is something we’re always expecting to deal with when it comes to our students. However, our adult staff members getting themselves tied up in disagreements is just as likely to happen, and we’re even more likely to hear about it through the grapevine, so it really can be tricky to deal with tactfully.
It’s getting to the time when you’re mapping out what your staff will look like come the start of the next school year. Last week was all about how to let staff go responsibly and with both parties’ best interests in mind. In this episode, I’m sharing some recruitment tips to increase the chances that you don’t have to fire anyone next year!
We’re into March, which means we’re starting a new theme on the podcast for this month. For the next few weeks, we’re going to be looking at the mindset and execution of the human resources aspect of your job as a principal.
