Reframing the Path to School Leadership by Lee G Bolman
The best leaders use multiple frames to view common challenges and to solve the most difficult problems. A series of dialogues between a novice and a master teacher and between a new and a seasoned principal demonstrate how framing--and then reframing--challenges brings clarity.
"Here is a rare blend of storytelling and analysis, brought together in a book that is both insightful and invitingLee Bolman and Terry Deal allow us to see our schools, and ourselves, through the lens of imagination rarely found in educational literature, offering embattled and discouraged educators the precious gifts of vision and hope." -- Parker J. Palmer, author
"I love this book! Reframing the Path to School Leadership is full of great spirit, liveliness, and energy. Bolman and Deal are master storytellers, and this tale will inspire every school leader, whether administrator, teacher, coach, parent, or student." -- Jim Kouzes, coauthor
"The book is invaluable in helping the reader think about how to convert knowing about teaching and learning and leading to know-how about teaching and learning and leading." -- Teachers College Record * Volume 105, Number 1, 2003 *
