About this Book

The indispensable leadership companion—updated and more relevant than ever!

Part leadership manual, part short novel, this unique best-seller uses dialogues between a novice and a master teacher and between a new and a seasoned principal to illuminate how viewing a problem through a different lens—political, human resources, structural, or symbolic—can reveal the right solution. Featuring reflective questions and solid strategies for meeting real-life challenges, the third edition also includes:

• New views on building morale in the #MeToo age
• Revamped discussion of mandates, standards and rubrics
• Celebration of educators as skilled professionals
• Expanded conversations about hope, faith, and parental involvement
