Rezensionen

"Dr. Franklin's approach to leadership is insightful, realistic, and empowering. Each chapter is grounded in data and strategies that will help all leaders feel connected to a network of principals and avoid feeling isolated from this challenging profession. A must read from all school leaders."
--Meredith Matson, Director of Social Studies, Herricks School District, and author of Educating with Passion and Purpose

Nearly 100 percent of educational leaders, like me, are on their journey alone, trying to manifest their careers one day at a time. There are many books on leadership theory for educators. There are many educational autobiographies by educational leaders. David Franklin has produced something I've yet to see: An actual how-to guide for the aspiring educational leader (and experienced leader) that gives specific techniques and plans to be the school administrator we have in our mind's eye."

--Jon Corippo, Co-author of The Eduprotocol Field Guides
