Leadership in anything is the difference between mediocrity and
greatness, and "From Good Schools to Great Schools: What Principals
Do Well" elaborates on that point. Promoting that schools need a
good leader to do well, it encourages principals across the nation to
ask "What can I do to make a difference and life my school to
excellence?", a optimistic question the book hopes to help them
answer with in-depth discussions, reflection questions, and comparisons
between a good businessman and a good principal. "From Good Schools
to Great Schools: What Principals Do Well" is a must read for
anyone in a position of leadership in any educational facility and
should find a place on any community library education shelf.
