Every leader is flawed. I think they are actually more effective when they can acknowledge that.
It’s a bit ironic... but vulnerability can be a sign of strength.
We know that students feed off the energy of their teachers. And it’s worth noting, that to a large extent, the teachers feed off the energy of their principal. So schools need principals who are excited about what they’re doing.

Treat people as if they are doing the very best they can... because often times, they are.
Very rarely, if ever, does someone intentionally go out to do a bad job.

It’s true that admins should “inspect what they expect.” Accountability matters. But they should always assume teachers are trying to do the right thing. Every teacher wants to be a good teacher, & this assumption provides a good foundation for the teacher / admin relationship.
Summer is a good thing. The students aren’t the only ones who need a break! Anyone who ridicules a summer break for teachers has never spent 9 months with 20 kindergarteners... or with 150 teenagers.
