Nothing-Will-Change Attitude

School leaders sometimes avoid having tough conversations because they assume or believe the person will not change. Think about a person in your school who has displayed annoying or unproductive behaviors or attitude ever since you’ve known him or her. The reason this happens is because nobody before you has had the courage to have a tough conversation with that person, or there was never any follow-through after the tough conversation took place. The leaders before you may have assumed that person cannot change, and as a result, they never bothered to have the conversation. The problem is whether or not people can change; you as a school leader owe it to the students in your school to have those tough conversations. As a leader, you cannot allow people to stagnate. It is up to you to work with these educators to change behaviors for the sake of your students and your school.

Some strategies to resist this pervasive attitude include the following.

• First, make the person you need to talk to aware of the situation.

• Document every conversation to illustrate patterns.

• Set expectations and then hold him or her accountable.

• Be consistent.

• Help identify the source of the problem.
