Power Dynamic

The power dynamic at my school is a very simple one, we have a dictator type superintendent who rules with fear and intimidation. He is a super micromanager and keeps the principals on an extremely tight leash. This in turn makes the principals keep the teachers on a very tight leash. To be able to influence change at my school would be very difficult since most teachers are scared to death of the superintendent, however he is retiring in December and then I personally believe that there will be complete and utter chaos as the principals and other leaders scramble until a new leader emerges.

  1. Wow! What a terrible way to lead. I would be incredibly excited and maybe a little anxious for the big change in leadership. Hopefully it won't take long for a new leader to emerge and he/she will be a better one.

  2. Hopefully when the new superintendent gets there they will be better and everything will work out. If the new leader is not better than others should really speak up and try to have a say in what is not working.
