How to be an excellent principal?

With a good principal, there is a good school! The headmaster is the core and soul of the school, and the quality of the headmaster has a great influence on the development of the school. In my opinion, to be an excellent principal, we must first establish and improve various rules and regulations, conduct systematic management and straighten out various relationships. "Perfect system and systematic management" means "management", and "straighten out relations and do a good job of unity" means "reason", that is to say, there must be a set of scientific and reasonable management methods. Secondly, we should have the excellent character of continuous progress and pursuit of Excellence, be good at learning and run our business into a brand. First, improve the system and system management. 1. Establishing and perfecting the system management of school rules and regulations is the unity of static management and dynamic management, and it is the concrete embodiment of running the school according to law. Principal responsibility system does not mean "the principal has the final say", and rules and regulations are very important for school management. Want the rule of law, not the rule of man. If you want to rule the people, you will be divorced from the masses, and the decree will definitely not work. Strengthening system construction is a wise move to run a good school. Various systems formulated by our school, such as regulations on teaching awards, regulations on the distribution of teachers' welfare, regulations on the publication of teachers' papers and awards, and regulations on reimbursement for teachers' participation in training and further study, have fully considered the actual situation of the school and must serve the all-round development of the school. Therefore, the formulation, implementation and real promotion of these systems reflect the cultural quality of school leaders and the scientific management level of schools. When implementing the rules and regulations of the school, we insist on (1) strengthening the publicity of the significance of the school system, so that teachers and students can change from understanding and clarity to recognition and from compulsion to conscious behavior. (2) Implement daily management and keep the basic rules and regulations relatively stable. (3) create conditions for implementing rules and regulations, mobilize all kinds of public opinion tools, and create a propaganda offensive, so that everyone knows and everyone cooperates. 2. Considering the overall situation, the system management will guide teachers' work by instruction, limit teachers' initiative and creativity, and engage in obedient teaching, which will not achieve good results. So, how should the headmaster reflect his leadership role? In the process of work or education implementation, I think it is mainly manifested as: taking the overall situation into account, adjusting contradictions, coordinating the pace and promoting work. The main working methods are as follows: (1) Take the overall situation into consideration and make a good plan. Planning is the program of school work. Experienced principals attach great importance to making plans. At the beginning of each semester, they personally grasp the formulation of this semester's calendar and conduct in-depth inspection and revision. The principal makes a plan, takes the overall situation into consideration, schedules and promotes the overall development of the work, so that the plan can be gradually implemented, which is the main axis of the principal's work. The headmaster should be like an overall designer, mobilizing all departments, levels and departments to provide "design materials" and participate in the design work. The headmaster should pay attention to the formulation, revision and implementation of the plan. (2) Carry forward democracy and unify thoughts. Ideological unity is the basis for adjusting contradictions and coordinating the pace. Without this foundation, it is impossible to formulate a unified plan, to guide the implementation of the plan from a global perspective, to effectively adjust contradictions and to promote the overall work. Unifying ideas must rely on promoting democracy and achieving ideological unity through debates of different opinions. On this premise, we encourage everyone to play their original spirit. We advocate teaching in accordance with the law, but not in accordance with the aptitude. The specific method depends on the teacher's originality. (3) macro-control, grasp the overall situation. School management regulation is the regulation and control of all school work, the measurement and correction of working conditions, and its role is to ensure the realization of working objectives. A school without regulation is a mess. As a school principal, we should realize the macro-control of the whole school work, while as a manager of each department, we should realize the specific control of the work of each department. From the whole regulation process, it is a dynamic system and a challenging task, and there is no fixed model. Proceed from reality, adhere to principles, focus on objectives, and flexibly adjust and control, and you will get the expected work effect. Principals should use a "systematic" approach to grasp the work process, have a holistic view and have a holistic view of the school. Only in this way can we have a basis for decision-making, a basis for unified thinking, and exchange views with teachers and workers to be consistent in language, thus avoiding blind command and one-sidedness. School work is complicated, how to grasp the overall situation? It is necessary to use a "systematic" approach. For example, moral education, teaching, teaching and research, logistics and other work are classified into several major systems, and every work link is grasped. For example, teaching includes preparing lessons, giving lectures, correcting homework and evaluating grades. Clear link procedures, according to the system synthesis, form a work outline. With this "contact map" in the headmaster's mind, he can be "confident" and "firm in command" to promote the school work. (4) Rely on administration and make decisive decisions. Administrative work is very important, but the most important thing is to give full play to the role of administrative organizations, and to promote the work of schools by establishing work routines and clarifying responsibilities, so that administrative cadres can play an active role. Only by liberalizing all departments and managers, fully mobilizing their work enthusiasm, fully trusting them, relying on them, actively coordinating and supporting their management work, keeping abreast of their work conditions and actively solving problems for them. Of course, while fully authorizing the administrative staff to let go of their work, the principal should also keep abreast of the situation and ask the administrative staff to report to the principal after completing the work. Major issues must be submitted to the principal first, and the principal will hold an executive meeting to discuss and decide. When there are different views among administrators, the principal should make a decisive decision on the principle of being conducive to the development and unity of the school. Only in this way can the principal's management and regulation functions be fully reflected, so that the school's work can be carried out in an orderly manner and the disadvantages of multiple policies and even contradictions within the administration can be avoided. Second, straighten out relations and do a good job of unity. Straightening out all kinds of relationships and doing a good job of unity are the keys to being a good principal. No matter how strong the headmaster's ability is, no matter how high the teacher's level is, it is impossible to do a good job without unity. Therefore, to be an excellent principal, we must first straighten out the following relations: 1. Straighten out the relationship between school leaders. Nowadays, the school implements the principal responsibility system, which undoubtedly protects the principal from other improper interference and enhances the initiative of the principal. However, as a principal, you can't intervene in everything, but you can't ask nothing. A school has a vice principal, a guidance office, an office, a general affairs office and so on. The headmaster must straighten out the relationship with these departments and coordinate the relationship between them. Clearly define their respective responsibilities, work objectives and terms of reference, so that under the guidance of the overall goal of the school, they can perform their duties and coordinate with each other to achieve macro-control and micro-autonomy. 2. Straighten out the interpersonal relationship with teachers. The manager and the managed are a group of contradictions. If this group of contradictions is handled properly, all employees will be of one mind, consciously abide by the rules and regulations, give full play to their subjective initiative, and try their best to complete the task. If this group of contradictions is not handled well or rigid, it will lead to alienation from Germany, tension, passive work and even adverse effects. Even if it is subdued by the majesty of the system, it still seeks no merit, but nothing. How to straighten out this relationship? I think we should pay attention to the following aspects: first, respect the teacher's personality and convince people by reasoning. Whether arranging work or handling daily affairs, we should first respect teachers' personal dignity, measure the use of materials, objectively adapt to their talents, and subjectively have the ability to complete tasks, and then face-to-face the tasks, explain the reasons, convince them, be willing to accept them, and try our best to complete them. Even if the teacher violates the rules, he should convince others by reasoning and explain the reasons, so that he can accept the criticism and be persuaded to deal with it. As a principal, to make teachers respect themselves, we must first be polite to corporal and respect everyone. Second, be a teacher's bosom friend. Principals should care about teachers' work, life and health. Talk with teachers often to find out the problems in their work and ask for their suggestions and opinions on the school. Understand their life difficulties, care about their sufferings, help them overcome difficulties and work with peace of mind. Teachers should have something to say to themselves, something to say to themselves, and something to say to themselves, so that teachers can regard the principal as a foreman in their work and a caring person in their lives. Only in this way will teachers be willing and willing to work, and principals will have cohesion and will not worry about the implementation of government decrees. Heart for heart, love for heart, trust in work, care in life, treat each other sincerely, get along with friends, treat each other equally, be impartial, and not worry about the unsatisfactory work. Straightening out interpersonal relationships is a process of harmonious coexistence between principals and comrades. Third, focus on building a platform for all teachers to display their talents. As a school administrator, teachers should not only be assigned tasks and put forward specific requirements, but also actively provide and create favorable and necessary conditions for teachers to complete tasks and achieve career success. We should create various conditions to encourage teachers to become famous teachers. Comrade Deng Xiaoping once said, "Management is service". The service of school administrators should not only face every faculty member, but also focus on the service according to the work center of the school at different stages, so as to ensure that the central work at a certain stage can be completed well, especially to participate in various competitions and exhibitions organized by higher authorities. School administrators should go all out. However, when teachers complete their tasks and achieve career success, as school administrators, they can only be happy and cheer for the success of teachers as service providers. Therefore, school administrators should have the heart to be green leaves and the feelings to be paving stones. 3. Straighten out the relationship between non-teaching factors and schools. The school is an independent unit, but it is not a paradise. The principal should not only straighten out all relations within the school, but also straighten out the relationship between the higher education administrative department and the school; Straighten out the relationship between parents and schools; Straighten out the relationship between other organizations around you and the school; Straighten out the relationship between teachers' families and schools and so on. Straightening out these relationships and gaining the support of leaders and social forces can ensure the normal teaching order. Third, be good at learning and constantly improve. Education is spiritual production and needs a high degree of consciousness and scientificity. The headmaster's command affects the activities of hundreds of brains, and his work accuracy should exceed material production. He needs to accurately observe and measure the production process and subtle changes of products. This change is sometimes like the wind and cloud on the sea, changing rapidly. If the headmaster wants to master this process, he can't do it without a fine mind, a broad vision and extensive knowledge. The only way for principals to acquire these qualities and talents is to study. A good principal is a principal who is good at learning. Learn from teachers, students and books when using middle school. This is the essence of the principal's work. 1, constantly improve their management level in the process of learning from teachers and students. It is a necessary condition for a good principal to listen to the voices of teachers and students sincerely and understand the information they want to convey. Listening allows the principal to find the problem from the cause of the incident and find an effective way to solve the problem. A good headmaster knows how to share the teacher's teaching experience and mood and give appropriate advice when necessary. When listening, the principal must have a sincere attitude to understand the feelings of the narrator. Listening carefully can often establish a relationship of mutual trust. Once students and teachers have trust in the principal, they will be more willing to express their ideas and opinions to the principal, and the projects that the principal wants to promote will easily get the support of teachers and the participation of students. Listening to lectures is an excellent way for principals to learn from teachers and conduct investigation and research. It is the most vivid and authentic field trip and a necessary means of in-depth teaching. Therefore, the principal should give priority to classes. The way of class depends on the purpose of class. Generally speaking, there are the following types: First, appraisal lectures. This is based on the understanding of new teachers and newly transferred teachers and the appraisal of their teaching level. You can listen to several classes and types of classes in a row, so as to get a preliminary and complete impression and make a preliminary appraisal. The second is to study experimental classes. Mainly leaders have ideas, principals and teachers study cooperation, ask teachers to do experiments and lead classes. The third is the general inspection class. The principal's foothold in class lies in learning and research. Under this premise, we can give some reference opinions and avoid giving teachers mandatory opinions on how to do it. But after listening to it for a certain period of time, we should sum up and put forward the main problems in teaching. 2. Improve their management level in the process of learning from outstanding educators at home and abroad. A principal who is not good at learning is not a good principal. This is what I have always thought. The headmaster must know how to learn, be good at learning and be good at learning. So is the teacher. Management is a process of learning from the managed. On the other hand, teaching itself is a bilateral activity process of teaching and learning. Only a principal who knows the hardships and laws of learning can correctly guide teachers to do a good job in teaching. My own learning promotion process, from the improvement of academic level and teaching experience, relies on my own efforts to achieve the purpose of learning from others. In addition, with the rapid development of the times, in addition to the continuous updating of educational concepts, the level of modern educational technology is also developing. As a principal, if you don't master computer, network and courseware well, it is difficult to have command in school management. Over the years, I have read the original works of Chinese and foreign educators such as the Complete Works of Suhomlinski and the Complete Works of Xing Tao, as well as the teaching materials related to information technology education such as Modern Educational Technology, which makes me stand on the shoulders of giants, more deeply understand the role of modern educational technologies such as computers, networks and multimedia technologies in education and teaching, and guide teachers to organically integrate information technology into classroom teaching. By reading a lot of monographs by famous educators at home and abroad, I have really improved my management level. 3, in the process of learning from Chinese and foreign outstanding entrepreneurs to improve their own management level. As a non-profit organization, public schools don't need for-profit management like enterprises, but in the fierce market competition environment, the experience of enterprises on how to give full play to people's potential, fully and rationally allocate resources, and run the biggest cause with the least resources is worth learning from school administrators. Although the school can't copy all the excellent management concepts and experiences of enterprises, it is still very effective to take the essence for our use. In recent years, I introduced the concept of "the fifth discipline" and established a learning organization in the school. By studying books such as Haier, Made in China, Haier is the Sea, Haier Human Resource Management, White Swan Hotel Management, etc., I implemented Haier's refined management in my school, which made the school management close to ISO9000 standard. School always gives people a pleasant and comfortable feeling. In particular, through the study of books such as Corporate Culture of Successful Enterprises, Corporate Culture Innovation, Corporate Culture of China in the New Century, Business Wars and Famous Brands, and Brand Competition Times, the concepts of brand management and cultural management are introduced into the school, which makes teachers and students more proud of the school and makes the school more humanized. The management of the school has been recognized by teachers, students, parents and all walks of life. Therefore, I think that if a school wants to pursue excellence in management, it must learn advanced management experience from the business community. Fourth, manage yourself well and build a brand.
