Delivering Results, Developing Leaders: A Results-based Approach for Successful Management

Douglas K. Smith and Charles Baum, both experts in the fields of leadership and consulting, outline a performance-driven approach to leadership development that can be implemented in the education sector. By carefully selecting performance challenges, and measuring results rather than actions, educators can build their leadership capacity by creating and sustaining effective change. Smith and Baum present criteria for selecting the appropriate performance challenges, and explain how leaders can manage the organizational change process from the beginning, middle, and end.
