...Join the author on this narrative and inspiring tour of
principal Ogilvy's daily encounter with stress. His assistants, Ms
Noodle and Mr Bishop, are astounded by the daily rigors and stress
which they also endure mainly as a result of Ogilvy's leadership
style, and in some cases situations that they unknowingly create.
Their ability to lead was challenged by daily encounters with a
faculty that was resistant to change. In response to a growing
number of complaints from staff, parents, and at times the
leadership team, the assistant superintendent finally scheduled
stress management training for Ogilvy and his assistants. Ogilvy's
leadership team was not pleased. Their perception of stress
management training as being a 'touchy-feely' session was quickly
changed when they met a facilitator who led them through a path of
self discovery and awareness which forever changed the manner in
which they led. They gained knowledge of stressors which resided in
the school's culture; theoretical and practical approaches to
addressing these stressors; and learned coping strategies which
guided them in leading change in a dynamic manner. Eventually
Manchester Elementary transformed into being a healthy learning
environment conducive to student achievement, and a place that the
entire faculty and staff enjoyed working.
