If you are in educational leadership/administration, this is a MUST read. I WISH we had read this in my Principal Program or even PILs. Instead, I found it through ASCD and it has taken me until now to pick it up.
I originally thought that this book was about budget tips for administrators. This book discusses more about budgeting time and staff capacity. There were numerous how tos and the book comes with multiple resources to implement.
Definitely my new favorite education book.
