"School leaders, as well as aspiring principals and observers of the principalship, will delight in this distinctive, playful, and insightful look at the art and craft of leading a modern-day school." (Roland S. Barth, educator and author of Improving Schools from Within)

"The Leadership Paradox is a book for principals, principals-to-be, and other practitioners. It provides reality-based cases and concepts worthy of reflection by all who are interested in improving school leadership.'' (Linton Deck, director of education and nonprofit applications, Center for Creative Leadership)

"The Leadership Paradox pushes our understanding of the complexity of the principal's work to new levels. It should be required reading for those who are or aspire to be principals and for those who prepare, train, or supervise them."
