"TURNAROUND LEADERSHIP IN SCHOOLS"

In this book, Michael Fullan expands the definition of organizational turnaround. Fullan shows how leaders can turn even the worst situation into an opportunity to shake-up and rejuvenate their schools. He goes beyond turnaround schools to show how entire systems can be transformed and explores what it takes to motivate large numbers of people to go beyond short-term solutions in order to achieve fundamental, sustainable reform. Ultimately, "Turnaround Leadership" focuses on the critical role of leadership, not the Lone Ranger leader who rides into town and saves a single school, but leaders whose very actions change the systems they work in.
