When my group was discussing the case studies, the first case study gave five scenarios for hiring a new math teacher within two weeks. I discovered that my original answers indicated that I was thinking too much like an administrator. My discussion group both felt hiring the high school teacher was the best option, and I had disagreed. When I examined why, I decided it was because the principal at the high school "didn't want to lose him." What?? Was that why? What am I - in some old boys network where I am avoiding conflict with a colleague instead of making sure the teachers are happy so they do their jobs more effectively. If the high school teacher wants to move, and I DON'T let him, he may file a grievance (in some districts) because he is already an employee and kind of has "dibs" on any jobs that come up in the district over an outside like the professor's wife, who was my original first choice. I have officially changed my mind and I think I agree with my teammates. :)
