A meta-analysis of leadership theory and common sense.
Customer Rating:
This is an excellent book which is written for busy school administrators.
The model is based on five domains: Authentic leadership; Visionary leadership; Cultural leadership; Quality leadership; and Service leadership.
While these domains may not be academically discrete, they are useful to practioners in the field.
The 15 performance roles of the Total Leader are a great guide for a principal's performance feedback. I have converted the 15 roles into a questionnaire which I will give to staff when we return to school after the summer vacation.
