There are so few'must read' books about superintAndents that I would recommend to policymakers, researchers, and novices. Add Leading to Change to the list. This insightful chapters on political and managerial leadership alone are worth the price of the book.--Larry Cuban, professor of education, Stanford University Susan Moore Johnson's thoughtful, thorough, timely study of the new superintendency gives all who care about improved public schools and their effective leadership solid examples of best practice and what works. Current and aspiring leaders of public organizations will find it realistic, practical, and hopeful.--Thomas W. Payzant, superintendent, Boston Public Schools Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.
