Today's educational leaders are often caught in a world of rising expectations and diminishing resources_the political pressures are enormous. Those in the business of education often feel ill prepared and apprehensive about their ability to deal with a high-stakes political environment. The Politically Intelligent Leader helps leaders at all levels learn more about themselves and their own political styles. It provides strategies for delivering a personal educational vision, diagnosing others' styles, and customizing strategies to influence those who can help or hinder one's organizational goals as well as providing groundwork for leaders to understand how to operate ethically with all groups_elected boards, citizen groups, unions and volunteers_during politically volatile times.
Patricia Clark White has been superintendent of three California school districts, a national and international consultant and presenter, and an executive coach for leaders dealing with political issues. Thomas R. Harvey served as dean of organizational leadership at the University of La Verne in California. He is the author of several books including Checklist for Change; The Practical Decision Maker; Building Teams, Building People; and the The Soul of Leadership.
