Picture yourself standing in the middle of a dense forest. Suppose you were asked to describe the characteristics of the forest; what types of trees are growing in the forest; how many acres of trees are there; where are the trees thriving; where are they not? Faced with this proposition, most people would not know where to start and \"would not be able to see the forest for the trees.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNewly appointed school administrators often have these same feelings of confusion when faced with the prospect of having to assume a leadership role in a complex organization like a school or school system. Where does one start? An effective way to start would be to systematically examine the components that make up an organization. Such a system of organizational diagnosis and prescription will lead to a comprehensive and integrated analysis of the organization's strengths and weaknesses and point the way toward possible improvement. This book suggests such a sequential and systematic approach. Utilizing it effectively can produce dramatic and useful results.","brand":"R \u0026 L Education","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47613488693399,"sku":"9781578862344","price":8283.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781578862344.webp?v=1775085599","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/educational-administration-leading-with-mind-and-heart-9781578862344","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
