Books about the principalship remind us of the story about the blindfolded people and the elephant.
From the jacket flap
School principals are regularly confronted by conflicting priorities and perplexing dilemmas where the appropriate leadership action is not easy to choose. This book shares some of the "sense" that practicing principals have made of their own complex work, drawing from the experiences of the Harvard Principal's Center, an internationally acclaimed training program for aspiring and practicing principals. The authors offer real-life case examples of typical leadership dilemmas--in such areas as student discipline, teacher assessment, fiscal management, parental involvement, and schoolwide planning--and they discuss potential responses to issues that seem ambiguous, complex, and highly charged. Arguing that there are no textbook solutions to most school problems, the authors advocate an inquiry-oriented approach to leadership that will enable principals to cope with tough leadership choices by encouraging them to think through decisions in ways that promote fairness, collaboration, accountability, and academic excellence.
