Just investing in a culture of growth as Gerald described in the last episode won’t solve all problems. Here he is again with a sequel episode exploring redemptive solutions to difficult people problems.
Few people enjoy wading into these situations. Gerald won’t tell you how to begin liking it, but he does outline a number of excellent methods for how to lead responsibly and honorably.
This episode describes how to break down a problem by:
- Identifying the issues
- Agreeing on the issues
- Developing a plan (including specific steps, point person, timing, and contingencies)
- Following through
- Establishing accountability
These methods will help you gain confidence in bringing clarity as you labor to help teachers stay in the classroom and grow if that’s the right place for them or how to support them in moving forward to another vocation. This is not about toughing up as a leader. It’s about school leaders who are ministers of God’s grace through hard times.
Principles covered in this episode
- Leaving things alone does not make problems go away
- Name the elephants in the room
- Principles of difficult conversations
- Know thyself
- Grace and truth
- Clarity with compassion
- You need eyewitnesses, kill assumptions
- Act as one
- Do what is best for your church’s future and your teacher’s future
- Be a part of the solution
- Speak no evil
- Confidentiality
