Summary: "Leadership is second only to classroom instruction as an influence on student achievement. Strong leadership can potentially unleash latent capacities that already exist in an organization.

The authors also look closely at each organizational level in the school system--school, classroom, community, district, and state"-- Provided by publisher.
