To become an effective leader, it is important to implement the seven levers to help execute quality instruction and culture. These levers include data-driven instruction, observation and feedback, instructional planning, professional development, student culture, staff culture, and managing school leadership teams. The human resource and finance department has a significant role in assisting school leaders  with these seven levers because they are in charge of ensuring that qualified and motivated teachers and instructional staff are hired to meet the needs of the school. It is important that the finance department planned appropriately and allocated enough funds to help school leaders  implement the instructional levers effectively. It is also important that the HR department worked collaboratively with the finance department to help the school leader apply the cultural levers.

It is impossible for a school district to maintain success without a collaborative partnership between the HR and finance departments. The finance department is dependent on information from the HR department and the HR department is dependent on information from the finance department. Both departments have to continuously plan together in order to create the annual budget. Since about 80 percent of a school district expenditures are for salaries and benefits, the HR department has to effectively plan and assess its needs. Once they are aware of how many personnel are needed to meet the districts objectives, then they can know how much it will cost to fund it all. If there isn't enough money in the budget, then both departments have to work together to figure our budget cuts and what fringe benefits might have to be taken away to maintain the financial state of the district.
