Synopsis

Praise for the First Edition:

`This book offers a challenge to all school leaders. Within its pages the reader will find no checklists on how to become a successful leader, no rehash of the tenets of leadership according to a host of theoreticians, but rather an invitation to participate in a personal journey′ - School Leadership and Management

The book presents a personal perspective on what it means to care enough to lead. It demonstrates an understanding of the role of leaders and what occurs when leaders bond with others in significant ways in the development of our schools. This book embraces the notion that leaders must establish a connection with all others in an organization in order to reflect the common core values that establishes the organization to the next moral and ethical level. This book intends to widen what it really means to be a leader and explores the yet unexplored and heretofore dimensions of moral leadership.
