This book covers what twelve steps school leaders need to take to make for a high-achieving school environment. It encompasses strong leadership, vision and values, high expectations, embedded professional development, flexibility and resilience, and seven more steps. It concludes with a questionnaire, the High Expectations Environmental Scale (HEES), which you may apply to your organization to determine its level of high expectations.
Brilliant! The moment I read the first assumption, I was hooked. When is the last time someone hit you right between the eyes with the obvious in an easy-to-read and relevant way? This comprehensive book on effective leadership is full of great examples with principles and practical suggestions at the end of each chapter. Literally, this is a road-map for implementing best practices that all leaders can use to move their organization to the next level.
