Working harder won't fix a toxic school.You might think working harder will get you recognised, but toxic leaders will take as much as you give and ask for more until you burn out. They don't care about the impact this has on your home life. They will replace you without a second thought.

A headteacher/ SLT/ HOD is not a leader if they make you feel small.
True leaders inspire, empower and elevate.
If their leadership style relies on fear, micromanagement or belittling - they are controlling.
A leader makes you feel capable and valued, not fearful and insignificant.

Signs of an insecure leader
1 they micromanage and hate delegating - they are fixated on control rather than developing and empowering. They want you to justify your processes to find solutions, only to cut you down.

Toxic tactics leaders use to force resignations.
1 setting a teacher up for failure - setting unrealistic deadlines, expectations, making it impossible for them to succeed. HOD will micromanage to make sure you fail.

Things insecure leaders do that harm your mental health.
1 they take credit for your work or idea. For example, in a 1-1 meeting you share your idea that will help the department achieve its goals, they will disagree with you and make you feel you are wrong...
