Anyone have success creating a positive school culture without much support from the administration?

If you are having difficulty getting administration to buy in, you could work on rallying the "strongest" (most influential) faculty members to collaborate on a plan. It would be extremely difficult to change the culture of an entire school, single handedly. Are you familiar with concepts and strategies as a starting point? Have you asked admin if they would allow you to create a committee dedicated to school climate and culture? It takes a village...

Not sure how many people are in here yet- must not be the best climate if admin isn’t supportive...? Maybe there is a counselor who could help endorse it?

If you’re on a team, start there and move outward. To be honest, I’m at a huge school (IMO). People stick to their departments. I like the warm and fuzzy and knowing my coworkers. So, big adjustment for me. 😳

I just want to say to the recruiters at this company, who insinuate that a potential candidate has the opportunity to become hire, only to call them by phone and say “we didn’t “ pick you is unprofessional and tasteless. Remember you were once a candidate and one day may have to be a candidate again. Getting somewhat of an understanding how the culture is from the interview, I am glad that first I have a job and that I didn’t get picked.

You CAN be that leader that people want to work with. 1st, self assessment is required. Be honest: As a leader,have you engaged in/accepted Attribution Bias with a dash of gender &/or race bias? (See the pic) This is something we all need to be aware of as we lead our teams, provide performance feedback, & model the behaviors we'd like to see more of on our teams. Be on the lookout for Attribution Bias in yourself & on your team. It's a hindrance to creating a high-performing, inclusive culture.
