Synopsis

You got the title and the responsibility. But nobody told you how complicated leading from the second chair would be.
Being an assistant principal is one of the most demanding—and misunderstood—leadership roles in education. You have enough authority to be held accountable, but you don't always have the authority to make the final decision. You are expected to support the principal while developing your own leadership voice. You manage student discipline while trying to remain an instructional leader. You build relationships with teachers while holding them accountable. And somewhere between today's emergencies and tomorrow's ambitions, you may be preparing for a principalship without realizing that some of your current habits could follow you straight into the first chair.
In The Five Dysfunctions of the Assistant Principal: Leading From the Second Chair Without Losing Your Voice, Your Vision, or Your Value, veteran educator, former assistant principal, and former founding principal Dr. E. Marcel Jones confronts five leadership traps that can quietly derail even talented school administrators.
Through practical leadership insights, relatable school scenarios, case studies, reflection questions, and immediately usable action tools, Jones explores the tensions between authority and influence, management and leadership, loyalty and voice, popularity and accountability, and ambition and assignment.
You will discover why having authority does not automatically mean you have influence; how constantly putting out fires can prevent you from changing the conditions creating them; why strong assistant principals must know how to disagree without dividing the leadership team; how the desire to be everybody's favorite administrator can undermine accountability; and why treating the assistant principalship as a waiting room for the principalship can rob your current school of the leader it needs today.
Designed for assistant principals, aspiring principals, school administrators, instructional leaders, leadership academies, principal-preparation programs, district leadership teams, and professional learning communities, this concise professional-development resource is built to generate honest conversations about what effective second-chair leadership really requires.
The chair does not make the leader. The leader gives meaning to the chair.
