    Post: Were you overwhelmed at how much you didn't know?

    This is my first principal job. I have no AP and no
    long-term AP experience...no experience in this particular
    school district. In my first few days, the secretary isn't
    there. While some notes were left to me, there were not a
    lot. So, I'm wondering if when you started you were
    overwhelmed by how much you didn't know and how you handled
    that. How did you know what to do and what not to do right
    away? How did you appear confident/competent without really
    knowing what you were doing? Did you fake it until you made
    it? What were the keys to your early successes?
