Performance Management & Morale 

A leader and organization that excels in managing personnel does so in accordance with all relevant law and policies. They provide clarity for responsibilities, expectations and accountability while ensuring staff members collaborate, feel comfortable voicing successes and concerns, recognize themselves as part of a team working towards a shared vision, and feel that their contributions are valued. Tools, policies and practices are in place for recruiting, selecting, hiring, supporting, termination/retirement, and succession planning. Support for all staff is systemized, unbiased, and oriented towards the mission of the school. Genuine respect is present in a positive culture that all stakeholders participate in and that those who transgress these shared norms are handled promptly and appropriately by the leader.
