About

The work of educational leaders depends on relationships with people—faculty and staff members, students, other administrators, parents, and community members. This book presents a new way of viewing leadership: how to become person-centered leaders. Rather than relying on outdated ways of managing schools, principals, and other leaders must pay attention to the people issues of the school.

Table of contents

A Person-Centered Perspective on Educational Leadership

Seeking and Responding to Data

Beliefs About People and Change

Creating an Environment for Learning and Change

The Leader's Sense of Self
