Excellent! This uplifting book gave numerous examples of principals who are highly effective. The benchmarks were helpful to pinpoint some exact behaviors that are needed. There were terrific ideas to gain from all of the practical examples. This has been the most helpful and useful book I have read for my program.

I really enjoyed McEwan's book and it really made me think! This will be one I will not store of a shelf, but one I go through time and time again.

The information was presented in an interesting way with examples of exemplary principals. The ten traits were explained clearly. This was an easy read with lots of valuable information.

We used this as an AdTeam book study and it generated quite a bit of discussion.
