Product Description:
This collection of insights, anecdotes, gifts, and guidance is written by principals for principals—the book, the authors say, 'we wish we could have had when we began our careers as administrators,' as theory evolved into day-to-day practice. Subjects include:
- Trusting in yourself and others
- Learning to change
- Handling change without being swept away
- The administrator as mediator
- Standing your ground while maintaining your relationships
. . . and much more, including specific self-assessment skills that allow you to measure your own development. A great new book for administrators, aspiring administrators, or anyone interested in how schools are run on a day-to-day basis.

Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating: - Powerful guide
This book gives new principals (and probably others too) a reference for dealing with the challenges of the job.
Rating: - A True Surfer's Guide for Survival
This book was written with humor and insight. It makes you realize that being a principal with heart and humor is possible. It's not a high-handed theory book; it's a book that you can read and put into immediate practice for success. The situations used in the book strike home with "everyprincipal" realism. I enjoyed it tremendously and found it very useful.
