Rezensionen

Relying on the authors' hands-on experience with public and nonprofit boards, the text presents detailed, practical, and tested guidance on what works. It spotlights gaining skills and knowledge to achieve board know-how, addresses ways to build an enduring partnership, and details how to help the board produce high-impact management. E-Bulletin The Board-Savvy Superintendent removes much of the guesswork for superintendents by offering specific advice on everything from developing champions on the board to arranging signatures on the district's holiday card.
