Read and learn as James O'Hanlon and Donald Clifton describe how
elementary and secondary principals, identified as outstanding,
carry out their work. According to the authors, these principals
resemble highly effective managers in business in their adherence
to the tenets of positive psychology. While the position of
principal is highly demanding, the stimulation of the work
involved, accounts for much of their success. Their competitiveness
makes them want their schools to be the best, and to them, each day
is an opportunity to achieve that goal. Their optimism and
reflective nature enables them to turn potentially negative
situations in positive directions. Celebrating is both a way to
teach desired behaviors and to create a positive work environment.
They put attention on vision building as a way to capture the
energy of all in the school to work in positive directions. When
asked what brings them their greatest satisfactions in their work
they do not focus on high achieving students or groups, but rather
they talk about students who have succeeded against terrible odds.
This success brings them pleasure, knowing they have touched a
student's life in an important way. Effective Principals will:
provide direction for potential and practicing principals, help
school patrons to identify what kinds of principals to seek for
their schools.
