I remember my first job as a Principal. The Principal before me had suddenly gained a position in a larger school and I was asked to take over from him. I had never been in a senior leadership position before and I remember the multitude of feelings and anxieties that raced
through my mind during the few weeks before he left. Luckily, I had a wonderful staff who gave me lots of encouragement and support, and I steadily grew into the job.
No doubt I made many mistakes along the way. Although I took advantage of some excellent one-off instances of training available to me over the years, there was no single comprehensive package of training available for new Principals. So it was through trial and error and with good counsel and intuition that I honed my skills and knowledge, over many years, into a craft that finally has integrity and, satisfyingly, quality.
Over my twenty years as a Principal of small and large schools in three different countries, I have been fortunate enough to gain insights into some universal and fundamental truths about leadership and management that apply across cultures and systems. They are simple and few in theory but elusive and challenging in practice, constantly being veiled, hijacked or diminished by the demands and needs of the moment. As an experienced advisor to school Principals, I understand what makes a good school and feel there is a need to communicate this to all who wish to create one.
It occurred to me that newly appointed Principals, aspiring Principals and their often inexperienced educational employers may appreciate practical advice from someone who has been in the job for a substantial period of time and has gained knowledge of what works well in most
situations. With this in mind, I have put together this eclectic gathering of theory and practice, which has been honed and, increasingly, distilled over a long time by myself and many other Principals.
It is important to acknowledge that the frameworks, policies, procedures, approaches and models that appear in this book are not all my original ideas and do not necessarily belong to me.
They have been gathered over the years from a wide range of sources, including the generous training provided by my various employers and the collective wisdom of colleagues, as well as having arisen from the many trials by fire that I experienced.
If you remain focused, persistent and consistent in using them, they will empower you, as a new or aspiring Principal, to build thriving cultures of high performance and development and to anticipate and minimise the consequences of common pitfalls along the way. They will also lead
employers to a greater understanding of the challenges that Principals face in their everyday working life and the enormity of the role. This will allow employers to have greater empathy with Principals.
