What Every Superintendent
and Principal
Needs to Know
Now out in its second edition!
School Leadership for
the Real World
From three brave voices in the trenches come
more healthy, easy-to-apply, straightforward school leadership
ideas and practices than from any other book in print. No-nonsense, often funny
advice about what works, what never did, and what you can do to put your
school(s) and yourself atop the excellence pile, modestly or raucously crowing
Three of Illinois’ top educational leaders—Jim Rosborg, Max McGee, and Jim Burgett—offer 336 pages of advice that
includes lreadership, ethics, communications, trust,
teachers, assessment—even personal hygiene, getting those irksome
referenda passed, and what to say to the press, and when. It’s simply a must for every school administrator.
SATISFACTION GUARANTEED: If this book isn’t more than we promise,
send it back for a full refund, even if your dog
chewed on it. No questions asked.

Why should your Board buy this book for every administrator in your district? |
The authors are three guys who rose to the
top in school administration because, under fire, they could provide practical,
successful solutions to almost any predicament. Even more, they could innovate,
cut through the jargon and nonsense, and lead. So on these pages,
they share what they have learned: ideas, high-impact lessons about leadership,
and everyday problem solving that can be immediately implemented at every
school level. Their combined wisdom and stories will make administrators think,
laugh, and act.
You can order the entire book (the best deal financially)

If you have edition one, don’t fret. The second
edition (revised and updated) contains a few more case studies, one
less, and a wee extension of several chapters, but it’s about 95% the
same. The first edition was a solid book and we only tinkered a bit, mostly to
make the examples current. Also, the price hasn’t changed.
Here’s an inside look at the
second edition. (The first is sold out.)
