ABSTRACT

I’ve always enjoyed working with people. Early on, it was the students in my classroom and their parents, and then the teachers I served with as a principal. Nowadays I interact with a wide variety of groups and individuals-not just teachers and principals, but people in business, health care, banking-even coaches of professional sports teams. I notice differences in the size of their organizations, budgets, and salaries (!)—but all the groups I work with are made up of people who want to be good at what they do.
