Much of the current discourse on improving school leadership, and particularly the performance of principals, is misguided. There is much too much emphasis on evaluation and standards as determined by policy makers and professors and not nearly enough attention to how one provides performance-driven leadership in the context of day-to-day practice. As an administrator, academic, consultant and researcher, Lytle has traveled widely in the school leadership province. This book draws on his career as a school administrator and his experience teaching leadership at the graduate level. The author uses personal stories to address such questions as: How does one learn to lead? How does one become a leader? How does one teach others to lead? What does it mean to lead for learning?

Working for Kids is a must-read for current and prospective educational leaders interested in leading in the twenty-first century and beyond. It is a masterfully written account of the evolution of a school leader's entrepreneurial approach to both public and private school reform. The triumphs and challenges of this unconventional and transformative leader speaks from and to the heart of the matter, learning to lead and leading for learning. Lytle takes you on a journey as he boldly and intentionally crosses traditional boundaries and conventions by challenging the status quo of schooling and creating a space to improve outcomes for student students, teachers, and administrators. Although intended for educational leaders it transcends the educational sector and offers pearls of wisdom for anyone interested in the art of leadership.
