What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Understanding how much stress is involved but they are clueless.
Treating people fairly not being bias.
This team revolves their work around identity politics. Very little guidance or support for schools - just a list of demands. Although the bureaucracy has ballooned small school teams still do all the work with increasing demands. They are, at best, mediocre consultants and political hacks.
Review from Admin Dept
They all attend pointless meetings but none of the real work is addressed. All employees are drowning in work and we have little guidance. I work in Office of Legal Services.
They need to communicate with staff more effectively
