==Each principal has a choice as to how to approach a situation no matter the magnitude. They can fight, flight, or fix. I would hope that fixing the problem would be their number one alternative. There are various ways to have assistance if fixing the situation may prove to be difficult. When choosing to fight, the administrator may make matters worse and therefore more stressful. Fighting can cause the situation to escalate, which isn’t professional or productive. Lawsuits and loss of a position could even result. The flight decision can seem like a good choice as the situation may resolve itself. Many times this may not be the case and the problem may reoccur, and possibly in a more severe manner. The most effective administrator may take time to investigate and seek advice and information. Others may have dealt with the same situation and could offer valuable solutions. Resolving a conflict will help all parties involved to move on in a positive direction, which may in turn eliminate future concerns and problems. ==
