Leadership in Action

by Paula Jorde Bloom

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. Filled with practical suggestions and lively examples from high-performing directors, you’ll learn how you can create and sustain a compelling vision for your program that transforms your center into a vibrant and engaging learning community.
