        Being in a position of leadership is a great responsibility. Administrators are asked to fill many roles within 
        the school culture. They make decisions that affect a large number of people, and each decision comes 
        with its criticism. It is important for an administrator to gain the trust and respect of the staff by not 
        asking them to do things that you would not do. Show the staff that that you want to become the best, 
        and they will follow.
