Geared towards the discerning principal educator, this paperback kept my interest and I am confident it will keep yours. This volume will make a great gift for any principal and the many principal `wannabees'....I strongly urge you to purchase this book for anyone currently in, or seriously thinking about, assuming the multifaceted role of a school principal.
