ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on the importance of building rapport with staff. Research suggests teachers can be up to six times more effective when they are valued, supported, and appreciated. This chapter also examines the Pygmalion effect, which says that when you have high expectations of staff, they will rise to meet those expectations. This means the leader will be more effective in their own leadership as well. Finally, an examination of teacher burnout and how to combat it is explained.
