What if the five different staff problems you're dealing with right now… aren't actually five different problems?
One team is pushing back. Another agrees in the meeting but does something completely different afterward. Another is trying, but implementation is all over the place. And there's that team you have to constantly check on just to keep the work moving.
It's easy to see each one as a separate problem that needs a separate solution.
But what if they're all part of the same pattern?
In this episode, I'll show you why the recurring staff problems you're dealing with may be pointing to a bottleneck—and why finding that bottleneck can help you stop playing school leadership Whack-A-Mole.
I'll also introduce you to Serena, an experienced principal who thought she had a laundry list of problems across six very different grade-level teams. Once she stopped trying to solve them one at a time and identified the bottleneck underneath the pattern, every team started moving within one week.
Not perfectly. Not all in the same way.
But they were finally moving in the same direction.
YOUR 100% MOVE:
Choose one staff problem you've already had to address more than once.
Instead of asking, "How do I solve this again?" ask:
Where else is this same pattern showing up?
You may discover that you don't have five different problems.
You may have one pattern.
And that pattern may be pointing you toward your bottleneck.
