The Pitfalls of Dysfunctional Leadership

Nov 1, 2019, 1:03 PM

(From School Growth) If schools only look externally to identify problems, they won't be able to grow, meet their goals and foster a healthy school culture, argues Scott Barron, founder of School Growth. The challenge, instead, is looking internally to identify and address the key root of the problem, especially when it comes to a lack of shared vision and trusting relationships. 

Barron suggests identifying the following signs of dysfunctional leadership in your school:

  • Minimal Trust & Engagement
  • Poor Communication Habits
  • Persistent Conflict
  • Gossip & Dissension
  • Small Group Alliances (a.k.a, silos)
  • Erratic Accountability
  • Systemic Frustration

These obstacles to faculty culture limit your growth and stifle school morale. By making adjustments to your communication and relational habits, school leaders can help their schools get on the right track and foster honest dialogue among faculty.
