Summary: The "Leader as Communicator" for educational leaders
Review: The Leader as Communicator is an invaluable resource for school principals. While written for and about the world of business, this book has direct application to the world of school leadership. The book is readable with clear examples and lists of strategies related to issues central to school leadership in this period of high stakes educational reform. The sections on incorporating the use of data into storytelling, helping employees create meaning for their work, and strategies for building trust are expecially applicable to school principals.
