If every staff disagreement eventually lands in your office, you may not have a staff-conflict problem. You may have a home-base problem.

In this episode, Robyn Jackson explains why trying to get everyone to agree makes the principal personally responsible for holding the entire faculty together. Drawing on patterns from the Staff Alignment Bootcamp and findings from the 2026 Edelman Trust Barometer, she examines how growing social divisions are already showing up in schools—and why harmony is not the same as alignment.

You'll discover:

• Why the principal becomes home base when the school's purpose is not
• How principals were trained to mistake agreement and visible harmony for a healthy culture
• Why resistant teachers often gain concessions but never experience real power
• How a 100% Vision, mission, and core values help a faculty navigate disagreement
• How to return a divided staff to home base without forcing consensus or manufacturing compliance

Your staff does not have to share the same politics, personalities, experiences, or preferred strategies. They need a purpose strong enough to hold their disagreements—and a way to align their behavior with what they have collectively promised students.
