Seven Secrets of the Savvy School Leader
SCHOOL LEADERS TODAY ARE WORKING harder than ever, longer than ever, dealing with ever greater complexity, and sacrificing ever more of their personal and family time to their work. At the same time they are subject to increasing criticism, second-guessing, and unrealistic expectations. Adding to this crisis in leadership is the fact that an entire generation of school leaders is retiring, many of them early, and the number of candidates applying to replace them is plummeting. How can we make school leadership more doable and offer hope to both experienced and beginning leaders?
Seven Secrets of the Savvy School Leader tackles this challenge head on. Written by Robert Evans, noted school consultant, former teacher, and psychologist, this book offers concrete help and inspiration for anyone serving as or considering becoming a school administrator. From his experience with many of America's most savvy school leaders, Evans describes the qualities, characteristics, and behaviors that lead to success in today's uncertain environment.
As practical as it is readable, Seven Secrets of the Savvy School Leader offers solid advice for overcoming even the most daunting of school leadership challenges, from dealing with the innate tensions that face all administrators, to learning how to tell the difference between dilemmas and problems, to guidance on where leaders should put their focus. The book also reveals why following the latest leadership fad can lead to ineffective and misguided decisions and practices.
For anyone who wants to serve schools in a leadership position, this book provides an essential survival guide and a road map for excellence.
