I wasn't convinced at first. The book started out a bit slowly. But Dr. Green makes a good case for his strong opinions on school leadership.

Prentice Hall maintains an excellent web site companion to this text. I found the end-of-chapter quizzes very useful.

The case studies give students plenty of opportunity to play "What if?"

I recommend this book if it's on your assigned reading list!

This is a very succinct and thorough book about the theories and styles of leadership. It shows the evolution of leadership and explains how we have gotten to where we are today. A good text for anyone who intends to be a leader in business or education.
