This course was designed for current education professionals which included classroom teachers, counselors, administrators, etc. This book was able to provide a framework of what is required for school leadership.
Professor Ashlye Rumph-Geddis, Early Childhood, Midlands Technical College
"Establishes a framework for a new leadership strategy that is morally based, with the concept of community building at its core. Wonderful and inspiring."
Journal of Educational Research, Vol. 101, No. 1, September/October 2007
"To be successful, a leader must master the management of attention, meaning, trust, self, paradox, effectiveness, follow-up, and responsibility. Sergiovanni's work provides a different way to think about leadership—as an individual and as a leader of leaders."
The School Administrator, August 2007, American Association of School Administrators
