School culture is likely the most important factor to receive focused attention by school leaders. Whether leaders like it or don't like it, it is what literally dictates what people do on a daily basis. Thus, lack of interest in it, down-playing it as 'soft,' having others attend to it, just won't cut it. If you want the school to succeed pay attention to it. If you believe rules and policies are more important and that is what you bring to the staff, you should seek other work.
