From the Back Cover:

The articles in this revolutionary collection are drawn from the best of Sergiovanni's work. The collection is divided into three sections. Section one defines leadership as a moral craft. Section two addresses the developmental stages of leadership. Section three discusses leadership roles in the learning community. A common theme through all three sections stresses the importance of effective leaders being able to build learner-centered communities.

Rethinking Leadership compiles research and reflection about leadership to provide educators with practical advice for improving school environments, a clear sense of purpose, and a strong commitment to success.
