There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Still, he gives some great advice and I believe my own leadership skills have improved.
away from it and as I anticipate the new school year and my position as principal, I found this book very encouraging, inspiring and motivating. Highly recommend.

También es cierto que al hablar de centros americanos algunas cosas no se pueden aplicar.
El libro contiene muchos pequeños ejemplos que son muy útiles e interesantes para aplicar en un centro. Es decir no es un libro de esos que contienen mucha "filosofía" pero luego arréglatelas tú para convertirlo en algo práctico.
Es breve y fácil de leer, lo recomiendo a todos aquellos que trabajen en un centro escolar y estén o vayan a estar en el equipo directivo.
