PL Library - Leadership: Managing Difficult Behaviours

Dealing with Difficult People for Middle School Leaders

A webinar Dealing with Difficult People for Middle Leaders, presented by Greg Sperling on Tuesday 25 August

Every leader will face challenging situations, difficult interactions and people. This one -hour webinar focuses on practical strategies that leaders can take to create systems that minimise the negative effects that these factors can have, whether that be in meetings or in situations that blow up suddenly. It will also present a framework for how to have important conversations when they are required.

There are many practical strategies and techniques available that will not only make leaders’ lives easier but will also greatly increase their effectiveness as a school leader.
