Recenzii
"Public education is constantly evolving, and new challenges require school officials to be insightful, well planned, and innovative. It is because of these changing times that this book, which offers a different view of systems analysis and organizational behavior, is so valuable."
"Educational leaders need a basis for confident decision making. The authors have a solution for challenging times."
"A great read for leaders desiring to practically apply principles of sincerity, integrity, and commitment to an organization's culture."
"As we prepare educational leaders, Transformational Leadership & Decision Making is a must read."
"In my 25 years of school administration, Transformational Leadership & Decision Making in Schools is the first book that makes sense. When followed, it really works!"
"Finally-a book outlining how to 'lead' in education, by authors whose knowledge comes frontline practice and success."
"The authors provide a self-assessment to help school leaders reflect on their own effectiveness in decision making. May be of interest to school leaders, and could prompt interesting professional growth conversations. Could also be an effective resource for graduate coursework in educational leadership."
