About this title

Synopsis

The Politically Intelligent Leader will help leaders at all levels understand how to operate ethically during politically volatile times and how to deal with the special groups that are unique to the educational setting—elected boards, citizen groups, unions, and volunteers. And when a political crisis arises, there's some advice on how to come out of it "alive."
