others. The shortcomings of the ineffective administrators that were
found are as follows
► How would you deal to those teachers that are not performing well?
e.g. late submission of requirements, substandard outputs, have
hard time abiding school rules and regulations
► In a work from home set-up, how would you ensure the school is
still running smoothly?
CONCLUSION
Every principal’s goal is to ensure high performance of students
and faculty in achieving the school’s mission. High performance
requires the effective use of organizational resources through the
leadership functions of planning, organizing, leading, and
monitoring.
In order to perform these functions and roles, principals need
three skills – conceptual, human, and technical.
Effective principals engage in two categories of tasks dimensions
1. managerial tasks – creating and enforcing policies, rules, and
procedures, and authority relationships
2. building cultural linkages – establishing behavioral norms, using
symbols, instituting rituals, and telling stories designed to build the
cultural foundations of school excellence .
