-Theodore Creighton, Executive Director

This resource helps readers to:

  • Discover a variety of successful communication frameworks

Walter H. Warfield, Executive Director, Illinois Association of School Administrators
"I like this book. Joe Schneider and Lara Hollenczer recognize that communication is the essential skill for school leaders, and that in a public enterprise, communication is as much about listening and responding as it is about initiating and persuading. Practical school examples make this book useful for new and seasoned administrators alike."
