How to establish the prestige of the principal

Everyone knows that a principal must have a certain degree of prestige in order to better plan the overall situation and play the game of revitalizing the school. Otherwise, no one will listen to what he says, his command will be ineffective, and the principal's work will not be carried out. The so-called prestige, simply put, means prestige and credibility. If a person has prestige, he will gain the respect, trust and support of the masses. From respect to support, it is because you can trust. In the words of ordinary people, it is trustworthy. Why do some principals have high prestige, while others have low or even no prestige? This is closely related to the quality of the principal. How to establish and consolidate the prestige of the principal? Below I will talk about my experience as a teacher for 26 years, as well as some immature views on being the leader of a school. 1. To cultivate prestige by virtue. The "Book of Songs Xiaoya" says: When the mountains are high and the scenery is still, it means that people with moral character as noble as mountains will naturally be respected by people, and people with upright behavior will be followed by others. Practice has proved that whether one can win everyone's support, people first measure one's moral character, which is the basis for establishing leadership prestige. The principal has strict demands on himself in life, is broad-minded, treats others sincerely, and uses his good moral character and personality charm to win the trust and support of the faculty and staff. As a principal, having prestige does not entirely depend on one's position, but more on the core virtue of personality charm. Use noble moral sentiments and a spirit of dedication to education. And always remind yourself to use morality to establish yourself, to touch people with morality, to persuade people with morality, and to use the principal's own good moral character and personal charm to win the support and love of teachers and students, and to establish your own prestige. Looking at those leaders who have good leadership, outstanding achievements, and high public prestige, they all have good moral qualities and noble personality charm. Able to adhere to principles at work, act impartially, and distinguish rewards and punishments; be able to go deep into reality and keep close contact with the masses, regardless of closeness; be able to solve practical problems for faculty and staff, maintain a good style of criticism and self-criticism, and not avoid one's own faults or mistakes. At the same time, we must not be greedy for money, power, or sex, and abide by the moral rules of ordinary people. Greed for money, power, and sex are major taboos in establishing a leader's prestige. Once the incident comes to light, the prestige will be quickly destroyed. 2. To be able to win authority, Xunzi advocated that those who are incompetent should not be officials. It can be seen that ability is important to politicians. Being a principal is easy, but being a good principal is difficult! The president of a school must straighten out work and coordinate relationships, properly handle old and new conflicts, correctly evaluate merits and demerits, and firmly grasp the direction of development. Without extensive knowledge and talent, it will not work. Forging iron requires one's own hard work. If a principal wants to continuously expand his influence, he must continue to study and research, expand and enrich his knowledge horizons, master modern educational theories, improve the level of modern education application, and become an authority in knowledge, a master in teaching, and an expert in management. This will lead to the improvement of management capabilities and governance levels. Only by constantly learning and making progress, and updating our thinking, can we adapt to the needs of development and run the school well and with characteristics. Many experts believe that the quality of a school's principal's management is closely related to his sense of responsibility, leadership, political ideology, and professional level. With the development of the market economy, the requirements for leadership skills and abilities are getting higher and higher. Under the new situation, the main abilities that leaders should possess include: the ability to control the overall situation, the ability to analyze and synthesize decision-making, the organizational ability to know people well, the ability to predict the future, the ability to pioneer and innovate, the ability to coordinate, and the ability to adapt. Impromptu oral expression and written expression skills, etc. Of course, most people who can take up management positions have strong management capabilities and unique personal charm. Today's education industry is developing rapidly and the situation is pressing. Our educational managers should constantly update their concepts. As the president of a school, you should keep up with the pace of the times, study consciously, delve deeply into business, and improve yourself. Strive to improve your own management level. This shows how important ability is to politicians. 3. Be diligent and strong. The ancients said: Diligence in action will lead to governance, and diligence in thinking will lead to management. This is a summary of experience and an effective way for today's leaders to establish prestige. If you are diligent in political affairs, you can achieve great things. Therefore, leaders should be freed from daily interactions or meetings, often go deep into the forefront of teaching, make friends with front-line teachers, listen to their voices, discuss together, and make comments to demonstrate the leader's unique insights. In short, leaders must be in-depth, thoughtful and ask questions. Only then can you get out of business. , therefore, relying on hard work to achieve results, create actual results, and leave achievements is the foothold of leaders in politics, and the focus of faculty and staff’s comments on leadership. It is also a comprehensive reflection of the leader’s moral character, knowledge, and talents. Leaders who can change the face of their unit naturally enjoy high prestige among faculty and staff.

On the contrary, it is impossible for a leader to gain any real prestige if he is an official who greets and greets people all day long, has no performance or political achievements for many years, and even causes losses to his unit. Therefore, serving as an official will benefit one party and win the support and trust of teachers and students in the school. 4. Use rules to increase prestige. The ancients said: Without rules, there is no square. The system is the rules, and the system is the criterion for school education and teaching. A scientific management system is conducive to promoting the development of schools. Therefore, as a principal, you should be far-sighted, coordinate the overall situation, and constantly improve the school's management system. To formulate the school's management system, you must extensively solicit opinions from the masses, be based on the actual situation of the school, be feasible and operable, try to avoid flexibility and tendency, and try to make the system as reasonable, legal, scientific and complete as possible. I believe that the key to a school's management system is to improve it. In other words, the system is not static. It should be continuously enriched and modified according to the development of the times and actual needs. With a sound and complete management system, what is more important is execution. The implementation must adhere to the principles of fairness, justice and openness, so that all faculty and staff are equal in front of the system and convinced. You cannot abuse your authority because of your prestige. When the principal gains prestige, and there are more people praising and applauding him, he is prone to feeling arrogant and arrogant, so he becomes less modest and prudent, relaxes his requirements, and even takes advantage of his authority to enjoy privileges. In this way, your prestige will be reduced, and you will even lose your prestige. Principals should use the principal's code of conduct to restrain and regulate themselves so that they do not violate political discipline, party discipline, national laws and professional ethics. In this way, the principal's prestige will naturally be high. 5. Be honest and upright, and have a clean breeze on both sleeves. This is our praise to the old teachers and principals who are loyal and devoted to education. These eight words can also explain how the principal can establish and consolidate his prestige among teachers and students, as well as in society. Integrity is the foundation of leading cadres, and it is also a hot issue that faculty and staff are most concerned about. In the history of our country, almost every dynasty has required integrity in serving as an official. Although not many actually do this, all good leaders respected by the people are honest and self-disciplined. The ancients said: Integrity can produce prestige. If leading cadres are honest and upright, their subordinates will respect them and follow their example. For example: Jiao Yulu, Kong Fansen and many other outstanding cadres have been clean and honest throughout their lives. The power of such an example of integrity is limitless. Therefore, if leaders want to establish their own prestige, they must regard integrity as a major aspect of self-cultivation. Don’t be deceived by money, don’t be misled by material desires, refuse gifts and bribes, refrain from squandering, be a public servant, and serve the faculty and staff wholeheartedly. The principal’s prestige will naturally be rooted in the hearts of the faculty and staff. It can be concluded from work practice that the principal’s prestige among teachers and students can only be achieved through various efforts. It can be said that the principal's prestige is the crystallization of time and sweat and is hard-won. If you regard your prestige as your capital, relax your ideological cultivation, and even misbehave, it is easy to lose your prestige. Such examples are not uncommon. If prestige is reduced or lost, it is much more difficult to restore it than to establish prestige. You see, principals with a certain prestige in society are more likely to be strict with themselves, honest and dedicated to public service, indifferent to fame and fortune, and clean and self-respecting. Don't act arbitrarily and act arbitrarily, pretending to be public for personal gain. Avoid being close to those who are close to me, keeping those who are distant from me far away, and forming a small circle. Some people were originally good principals and excellent principals, but because they forgot about their duties and abused their power, their prestige was ruined. 6. The rise of love and trust Mr. Lu Xun once said: A ruthless man may not be a true hero, and how can he not be a husband if he pities his son. Human beings are not grass, and no one can be ruthless. Foreign leadership scientific research shows that 80% of the factors for a successful leader come from emotions, and only 20% of factors come from intellectual influences. The establishment of leadership prestige is even more inseparable from emotions. power. A distinctive feature of contemporary people is that everyone expects to be understood, respected and trusted by others, especially leaders. Even a proactive greeting, a cordial greeting, or a joke will make people feel respected and close to themselves, thereby achieving psychological compatibility and emotional connection. As the saying goes: Nothing touches people's hearts more than love. This is what it means. Practice has proved that leaders who are modest and prudent, connect with the masses, have a democratic style, understand the people's sentiments, treat others enthusiastically, and are affable generally have high prestige. On the contrary, if there is a lack of human touch. Leaders who are cold and insensitive to their subordinates, who regard themselves as officials, rely on their power to oppress others, play with power, put on airs, and show authority will find it difficult to gain people's trust and love. Over time, they will inevitably become separated from the masses and move towards self-isolation. Therefore, leaders must be humane, which is a kind of quality, a kind of cultivation, and a kind of state.

Trust is the bond that establishes a good comradeship and reflects the strength of personality. When leaders give full trust to team members and those being led, the entire group will maintain a harmonious and enterprising mental state and create a high sense of work responsibility. Excellent leaders will fully trust those they lead, so that their hidden wisdom can be brought into full play and their potential abilities can be tapped to the greatest extent. To be trustworthy means not to break one's word or to say empty words or big words. This is the basic requirement for leaders. You must keep your word and keep your word; you must never promise something you cannot do, and you cannot write a blank check. Once you make a decision, you must be consistent, implement it, and honor your promise. Be honest and frank with your subordinates. One thing is one thing and two things are two things. Don’t do one thing to your face and another behind your back. You must never talk about others in front of your subordinates. In addition, leaders must win the trust of the people. They must dare to admit what they have done or said wrongly and make corrections in a timely manner. They must not blame others or gloss over their faults. Only in this way can leaders establish higher prestige. In short, principals under the new situation have a long way to go.
