Discussion Problem: Your initial post should be between 300- 500 words and end with a provocative question that will either deepen the conversation or solicit suggestions for personal growth. Be sure to cite resources using APA format to support your comments.
- Option 1: Case Study 4.1: From Two to One (p. 87). Read the case study provided in our text and use the questions on p. 88 to frame your discussion. While the case study focuses on the challenges presented to a small business owner, the scenario is not unlike that which many principals have faced in recent years. Think of Mark as the school principal faced with the dilemma of budget cuts and declining enrollment. Dan and Asher could easily be assistant principals or team leaders whose positions are on the chopping block. Does placing this story in a school setting change your thinking? Why or why not?

- Option 2: Leadership Styles In Unique Situations: Using VoiceThread, share in 3 minutes or less your thoughts about the following: Think about all of the instructional and infrastructure changes that had to be made during the COVID pandemic. Changes were thrown at both teachers and administrators often with very little transition or implementation time. In many cases, teachers had to learn 2 years' worth of technology skills in 2 weeks. Throughout these challenges, what leadership style (task or relationship) did your school leader display more often? What do you think drove their behavior? Did their behaviors produce the necessary outcomes and help maintain the foundational elements of your culture? Is there anything you would have done differently?
