The success of any school depends, in part, upon the purposeful mentoring of the administrative team by the principal. A successful, high-performing administrative team needs deliberate, purposeful, and conscientious efforts by the principal to meet its potential and to act in concert with the vision and goals of the school. The camaraderie, management, leadership, and decision-making skills of the administrative team are key to the harmony of the school.
