Ep #411: Why School Principals Feel Bored (And How to Fix It)

Veteran principals sometimes share a secret that newer leaders might not expect: the work can feel repetitive, uninspiring, even boring. When you've mastered the routines of observation cycles, behavior investigations, and IEP meetings, when you've successfully calmed the chaos and created systems that work, you might find yourself wondering if this is all there is to school leadership.

If you're a veteran principal feeling disconnected from your work, you're not alone. I recently coached a highly successful principal in her fourth year who confessed she felt bored. Not overwhelmed. Not stressed. Just... blah.

If you’re catching yourself thinking, “What’s the point?” as you face another round of observations or another behavior investigation, this episode is for you. You’ll learn why you’re feeling this way, and how to bring fresh energy to your role and rediscover the excitement you felt when you first landed this position.
