Industry Reviews
"Houston, Blankstein, and Cole have hit the nail on the head yet again in this new addition to their Soul of Educational Leadership series. A blend of stories, techniques, and technology to keep the educational administrator out front and leading." -- Chuck Bonner, Assistant Principal
"The writing is easy to follow and provides good insights. This is important material for superintendents, aspiring superintendents, and all school leaders." -- Paul G. Young, Executive Director
"This book creates an awareness of the many tools we can use to communicate. The real-life examples help the reader see the need to keep all lines of communication open." -- Ralph A. Gilchrest III, Principal
"Today's school leaders must be both excellent communicators and skilled diplomats. It's no longer sufficient to plot a course to meet the needs of students. Leading a school system through change requires the mastery of persuasive communications and interpersonal relations that will earn the leader the respect of constituents and faith in his or her decisions. This book offers sound guidance on new and established ways to connect with the community to advance high-quality education for all students." -- Daniel A. Domenech, Executive Director
