Steps to Success: What Successful Principals Do Every Day is purposefully written for practicing and aspiring public and private school administrators who desire - on a daily basis - to gain relevant skills, specialized knowledge, and overall expertise associated with being a successful school principal. The text is organized into brief, single-topic-focused chapters and is intended to serve as an "essential necessity" providing current and prospective principal readership with relevant and practical applications as related to key daily "steps" a school administrator must master to ensure leadership success. Additionally, the text chapters reveal how successful principals must daily focus on quality, learn from others, make appropriate and effective decisions, solve problems, establish goals, develop highly competent teams, focus on students and instruction, inspire excellence, lead openly, honestly, and with transparency, and boost academic achievement. The book is designed and written to best ensure principals serve as visionary leaders who possess great ideas and who are honest, moral, ethical, and act legally in all actions.
