ABSTRACT

Schools of the past, present and future needed, and will continue to need, competent management. They need people who can establish and maintain the daily routines that make individual people in the organization dispensable-that allow the basic purposes of the school to be achieved even though members of the school inevitably change. Schools also need to change. And for change to result in improvement, schools require expert leadership. This book is primarily about leadership, but it is also about how to carry out managerial work in a way that contributes to leadership.
