The Gestalt of Leadership A Handbook for Leaders in Education

The Gestalt of Leadership is both conceptual and practical. It is a resource for those aspiring to and preparing for administration, or for personal professional growth by incumbent administrators. This book will be helpful to anyone interested in education and in providing leadership to it. The overall intent is to support those educators who work to realize the mission: to educate all children so that they all may become thoughtful, independent, successful and happy adults, ones who make positive contributions to the wellbeing of their community, their country, and their world. This book contains several concepts, theories, and components of effective and exemplary leadership. It includes the characteristics required for that leadership: leaned and innate. It then provides real-life examples to illustrate each of those qualities.
