Leadership in Action: How Effective Directors Get Things Done

Leadership begins in the head and heart. It is a way of thinking about yourself and the vital role you play in your early childhood program. This book dispels the myth that there is one best leadership style that all directors should emulate. It will help you understand the subtle but important distinction between leadership as a role and leadership as a set of skills and competencies that can be supported and nurtured at all levels of the organization. Leadership in Action will help you assess your unique leadership style, understand the values and beliefs that shape your leadership behavior, increase shared commitment to your center’s goals, make action plans that get implemented, and strengthen leadership capacity at all levels of the organization.
