In this Brewed for Leadership episode, we break down what separates great school leaders from weak school leaders—and why it shows up in culture, instruction, discipline, and staff morale. You’ll hear the habits great principals lean on: clear expectations, consistent follow-through, high visibility, and coaching that actually improves teaching. We’ll also call out the common patterns of weak leadership—avoidance, inconsistency, favoritism, and “initiative overload”—and how those choices quietly drain a school. Practical takeaways included: quick self-checks, staff trust builders, and a few “starting Monday” moves to strengthen your leadership presence without burning out.
