As a first-year principal, I’ve quickly realized that not everyone interprets calm leadership the same way. Some staff feel that if a student isn’t being yelled at, they haven’t really been “disciplined.” But I believe in following the handbook, enforcing fair consequences, and creating a culture where discipline is about learning—not fear.
In this episode, I’m diving into:
✅ The difference between being calm and being passive
✅ How to reinforce discipline without raising your voice
✅ Ways to help staff see the impact of firm but fair consequences
✅ Why your leadership style sets the tone for school culture
If you’ve ever struggled with staff perceptions around student behavior, this episode is for you! Tune in as we unpack how to lead with confidence while staying true to your leadership style.
