Beschreibung:
A stunning account of how a principal combines the rational and emotional components of leadership to lead the transformation of a school. Most attempts at reform have come from the outside, with people wishing to impose curriculum and benchmarks. This book assumes that schools can transform themselves, but only when those involved in schools, particularly the principal, develop self-respect and achieve self-actualization. The author believes, and has shown in his own colleges, that a sensitive, thoughtful, proactive leadership might yet deliver the quality outcomes that the community desires from schooling.
